Is charm the key to understanding diffraction in DIS ?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

This talk concerns the production of open charm in diffractive deep inelastic scattering. This has been calculated recently in the context of the semi-classical approach to diffraction. A comparison is made to approaches in which the diffractive exchange is modelled by the exchange of two gluons in the tt-channel. Two phenomenological test of the underlying partonic process are discussed.
