Rapidity Gaps in Deep Inelastic Scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A simple semiquantitative picture of diffractive electroproduction is described. Although the diffractive component of F2F_2 is approximately independent of Q2Q^2 and W2W^2, this mechanism is "soft," i.e. it depends upon large-distance physics and is not readily describable within perturbative QCD.
