On the odderon intercept in perturbative QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-02-03 v2

Abstract

Arguments are presented for the odderon intercept being exactly equal to unity. A variational method is presented based on a complete system of one-gluon functions. For the odderon, the highest intercept calculated by this method is 1(3αs/π)0.451-(3\alpha_{s}/\pi)\,0.45.
