DIS structure functions from the saturation model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present a description of inclusive and diffractive structure functions in DIS at small xx, using a model based on high energy factorization. In this model the two processes have physical interpretation in terms of the virtual photon wave function and the dipole cross section. We postulate the dipole cross section form in a way in which unitarity is taken into account. A good description of data (including DIS diffraction) is obtained after determining three parameters of the dipole cross section from the fit to inclusive data only.
