The Wave Function of 2S Radially Excited Vector Mesons from Data for Diffraction Slope
In the color dipole gBFKL dynamics we predict a strikingly different Q^2 and
energy dependence of the diffraction slope for the elastic production of ground
state V(1S) and radially excited V'(2S) light vector mesons. The color dipole
model predictions for the diffraction slope for \rho^0 and \phi^0 production
are in a good agreement with the data from the fixed target and collider HERA
experiments. We present how a different form of anomalous energy and Q^2
dependence of the diffraction slope for V'(2S) production leads to a different
position of the node in radial wave function and discuss a possibility how to
determine this position from the fixed target and HERA data.Comment: 20 pages and 6 figures. Title change
