Hard diffraction in hadron-hadron interactions and in photoproduction
Hard diffraction in hadron-hadron interactions and in photoproduction
Hard single diffractive processes are studied within the framework of the triple--Pomeron approximation. Using a Pomeron structure function motivated by Regge--theory we obtain parton distribution functions which do not obey momentum sum rule. Based on Regge-- factorization cross sections for hard diffraction are calculated. Furthermore, the model is applied to …
