Vector Meson Photoproduction from the BFKL Equation II: Phenomenology
Diffractive vector meson photoproduction accompanied by proton dissociation
is studied for large momentum transfer. The process is described by the
non-forward BFKL equation which we use to compare to data collected at the HERA
collider.Comment: 39 pages, 29 figure

Two parton shower background for associate W Higgs production
The estimates of the background for the associate W Higgs production, which
stems from the two parton shower production. It is about 1 - 2.5 times larger
than the signal. However, this background does not depend on the rapidity
difference between the W and the pair, while the signal peaks when
the rapidity difference is zero. The detailed calculations for the enhanced
diagrams' contribution to this process, are presented, and it is shown that the
overlapping singularities, being important theoretically, lead to a negligible
contribution for the LHC range of energiesComment: 35 pages and 10 figures in eps file
Spin dependent structure function g_1 at low x and low Q^2
Theoretical description of the spin dependent structure function g_1(x,Q^2)
in the region of low values of x and Q^2 is presented. It contains the Vector
Meson Dominance contribution and the QCD improved parton model suitably
extended to the low Q^2 domain. Theoretical predictions are compared with the
recent experimental data in the low x, low Q^2 region
First principles theory of inelastic currents in a scanning tunneling microscope
A first principles theory of inelastic tunneling between a model probe tip
and an atom adsorbed on a surface is presented, extending the elastic tunneling
theory of Tersoff and Hamann. The inelastic current is proportional to the
change in the local density of states at the center of the tip due to the
addition of the adsorbate. We use the theory to investigate the vibrational
heating of an adsorbate below an STM tip. We calculate the desorption rate of H
from Si(100)-H(21) as function of the sample bias and tunnel current,
and find excellent agreement with recent experimental data.Comment: 5 pages, RevTeX, epsf file
Heavy Quark Photoproduction in k_T Factorization Approach
We investigate the heavy quark photoproduction based on the k_T factorization
approach, focusing on the results from the saturation model. The deviations in
the results using the unintegrated gluon distribution considering the
saturation model and the derivative of the collinear gluon distribution are
analysed. Total cross sections and p_T distributions are analysed in detail,
setting the deviations between the color dipole approximation and the complete
semihard approach.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures, minor changes, references added. Accepted for

Theoretical issues of small physics
The perturbative QCD predictions concerning deep inelastic scattering at low
are summarized. The theoretical framework based on the leading log
resummation and factorization theorem is described and some recent
developments concerning the BFKL equation and its generalization are discussed.
The QCD expectations concerning the small behaviour of the spin dependent
structure function are briefly summarized and the importance of
the double logarithmic terms which sum contributions containing the leading
powers of is emphasised. The role of studying final states
in deep inelastic scattering for revealing the details of the underlying
dynamics at low is pointed out and some dedicated measurements, like deep
inelastic scattering accompanied by an energetic jet, the measurement of the
transverse energy flow etc., are briefly discussed.Comment: 17 pages, LATEX, 7 uuencoded eps figures include
Regge Field Theory in zero transverse dimensions: loops versus "net" diagrams
Toy models of interacting Pomerons with triple and quaternary Pomeron
vertices in zero transverse dimension are investigated. Numerical solutions for
eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the corresponding Hamiltonians are obtained,
providing the quantum solution for the scattering amplitude in both models. The
equations of motion for the Lagrangians of the theories are also considered and
the classical solutions of the equations are found. Full two-point Green
functions ("effective" Pomeron propagator) and amplitude of diffractive
dissociation process are calculated in the framework of RFT-0 approach. The
importance of the loops contribution in the amplitude at different values of
the model parameters is discussed as well as the difference between the models
with and without quaternary Pomeron vertex.Comment: 34 pages, 36 figure
Relating parton model and color dipole formulation of heavy quark hadroproduction
At high center of mass energies, hadroproduction of heavy quarks can be
expressed in terms of the same color dipole cross section as low Bjorken-x deep
inelastic scattering. We show analytically that at leading order, the dipole
formulation is equivalent to the gluon-gluon fusion mechanism of the
conventional parton model. In phenomenological application, we employ a
parameterization of the dipole cross section which also includes higher order
and saturation effects, thereby going beyond the parton model. Numerical
calculations in the dipole approach agree well with experimental data on open
charm production over a wide range of energy. Dipole approach and next to
leading order parton model yield similar values for open charm production, but
for open bottom production, the dipole approach tends to predict somewhat
higher cross sections than the parton model.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figure
