The ``asymmetric'' matrix element <p-r|G...G|p> that appears in the pQCD description of hard diffractive electroproduction does not coincide with that defining the gluon distribution function f_g(x). I outline a pQCD formalism based on a…
In high energy electron-ion colliders, a new way to probe nucleon structure becomes available through diffractive reactions, where the incident particle produces a very energetic almost forward particle. QCD describes these reactions as due…
