Geometric Scaling in a Symmetric Saturation Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We illustrate geometric scaling for the photon-proton cross section with a very simple saturation model. We describe the proton structure function F2 at small x in a wide kinematical range with an elementary functional form and a small number of free parameters. We speculate that the symmetry between low and high Q2 recently discovered in the data could be related to a well-known symmetry of the two-gluon- exchange dipole-dipole cross section.
