A Review of the Soft Pomeron

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Soft pomeron fits reproduce all zero-Q2 data for light quarks, but run into problems at HERA for heavy mesons and for high Q2, and at the Tevatron for W diffractive production. I review the basic properties of the soft pomeron, and outline the possibilities which have been considered to account for the new data.
