Conclusions

• • • • • • Analysis of J/ ψ diffractive hadroproduction process and rapidity distributions of produced leptons • Using new Pomeron diffractive parton distributions (H1 Collaboration – DESY – HERA) and theoretical estimate for gap survival factor Agreement with another theoretical prediction Improvement of data description using gap survival probability Useful place to test future extractions of Pomeron PDF’s Verification of the factorizatin formalism of NRQCD Application of Gap Survival Probability should be made
