Jet Asymmetry in High Energy Diffractive Production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-11 v1

Abstract

We propose the asymmetry in the fractional energy of charm versus anticharm jets produced in high energy diffractive photoproduction as a sensitive test of the interference of the Odderon (C = -) and Pomeron (C = +) exchange amplitudes in QCD. If measured at HERA, this asymmetry could provide the first experimental evidence of the Odderon.
