Elastic and quasi-elastic $pp$ and $\gamma^\star p$ scattering in the Dipole Model
Abstract
We have in earlier papers presented an extension of Mueller's dipole cascade model, which includes sub-leading effects from energy conservation and running coupling as well as colour suppressed saturation effects from pomeron loops via a ``dipole swing''. The model was applied to describe the total and diffractive cross sections in and collisions, and also the elastic cross section in scattering. In this paper we extend the model to describe the corresponding quasi-elastic cross sections in , namely the exclusive production of vector mesons and deeply virtual compton scattering. Also for these reactions we find a good agrement with measured cross sections. In addition we obtain a reasonable description of the -dependence of the elastic and quasi-elastic cross sections.
