Odd<i>CP</i>contributions to diffractive processes

Odd<i>CP</i>contributions to diffractive processes

We investigate contributions to diffractive scattering, which are odd under C- and P-parity. Comparison of p-$\bar p$ and p-p scattering indicates that these odderon contributions are very small and we show how a diquark clustering in the proton can explain this effect. A good probe for the odderon exchange is …
