Hard diffractive scattering: partons and QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The HERA diffractive structure function data are interpreted in terms of `diffractive parton distributions' which satisfy DGLAP evolution. These distributions are modeled assuming that the scattering takes place off a colour singlet `pomeron' target. A quantitative test of the universality of diffractive parton distributions is proposed.
