Elastic Scattering
• The particles after scattering are the same
as the incident particles
• The cross section can be written as:
d dt
 ebt  1  b( p )2
d dtt 0
• This has the same form as light diffracting
from a small absorbing disk, hence the
name diffractive phenomena

Learning about the Pomeron
• QCD is theory of strong interactions, but 40% of
total cross section is attributable to Pomeron
exchange -- not calculable and poorly understood
• Does it have partonic structure?
Soft? Hard? Super-hard? Quark? Gluon?
Is it universal -- same in ep and pp ?
Is it the same with and without jet production?
• Answer questions in HEP tradition -- collide it
with something that you understand to learn
its structure
• Note: variables of diffraction are t and x ~ M2
with FPD measure
d 2
dtdx
without FPD just measure 

Ingelman-Schlein
• Factorization allows us to look at the
diffractive reaction as a two step process.
Hadron A emits a Pomeron (pomeron flux)
then partons in the Pomeron interact with
hadron B.
• The Pomeron to leading order is proposed
to have a minimal structure of two gluons
in order to have quantum numbers of the
A*
vacuum

Ingelman-Schlein II
• The flux factor term has been derived by
Donnachie and Landshoff after comparison
to global data:
• The remaining cross-section can be found
from standard factorization processes to be
 ( PB  X )    dbdxb f a / P (b )
ab
 f b / B ( xb )ˆ (ab  X )
• The only unknown is the structure function
of parton a (with momentum fraction b) in
the Pomeron so measurements of the cross
section allow us to probe this structure
function
BFKL
• Balitsky, Fadin, Kuraev and Lipatov
• Starting with two reggeized gluons we
can add perturbative corrections of real
ladder gluons and virtual radiative
gluons to get a gluon ladder
• Mathematically, each successive order of
correction adds a power of log s to the
perturbative expansion and at sufficient
energies will “break” the perturbation
• BFKL Proposes to fix this by isolating in
each order the contribution with the
highest power of log s and resumming
these leading terms (leading logarithmic
approximation)
Color Evaporation (SCI)
• This theory attempts to account for rapidity
gaps in diffractive events without resorting
to the use of a Pomeron
• Model has been successfully applied to
onium production (charmonium, J/psi)
• Proposes that allowing soft color (nonperturbative) interactions can change the
hadronization process such that color is
bleached out and rapidity gaps appear
• Soft Color shows same exponential tdependence as Ingelman-Schlein due to
primordial kT of the partons
• Suggests a formation rate of gaps in gluongluon sub processes which is less than or
equal to the formation rate in quark-quark
sub processes

Pomeron Structure
1) UA8 shows partonic structure of pomeron
(diffractive dijet production) consistent with
hard structure (like gg or qq) and perhaps a
super-hard component
2) HERA DIS with large gap shows a quark
component in pomeron, F2D shows pomeron
dominantly gluonic
3) HERA diffractive jet and structure function
analysis indicate dominantly hard gluonic
structure
4) Comparison of HERA and Tevatron data
crucial for understanding pomeron

•Data gap fractions ~1%, higher for s=630 than 1800 GeV
•Data fraction < MC hard gluon or quark fractions (normalization
difference), ratios imply this is not a simple normalization
factor—would require significant soft gluon structure to
save Ingelman-Schlein type model; rates favor SCI model
