Vector Meson Photoproduction from the BFKL Equation I: Theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

Diffractive vector meson photoproduction accompanied by proton dissociation is studied for large momentum transfer. The process is described by the non-forward BFKL equation, for which a complete analytical solution is found. The scattering amplitudes for all combinations of helicity are presented.
