    Investigation of High Energy Behaviour of HERA Data

    We analyse the high precision HERA F2F_2 data in the low-xx regions, x<0,01x<0,01 and the very-low-xx, x<0.001x<0.001, regions using λ\lambda-Fits. λ\lambda is a measure of the rate of rise of F2F_2 defined by F2(1/x)λF_2 \propto (1/x)^{\lambda}. We show that λ\lambda determined in these two regions, at various Q2Q^2 values, is systematically smaller in the very-low-xx region as compared to the low-xx region. We discuss some possible physical interpretations of this effect.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figure

    Diffractive production of charm quark/antiquark pairs at RHIC and LHC

    Full text link
    We have discussed single and central diffractive production of ccˉc \bar c pairs in the Ingelman-Schlein model. In these calculations we have included diffractive parton distributions obtained by the H1 collaboration at HERA and absorption effects neglected in some early calculations in the literature. The absorption effects which are responsible for the naive Regge factorization breaking cause that the cross section for diffractive processes is much smaller than that for the fully inclusive case, but could be measured at RHIC and LHC by imposing special condition on rapidity gaps. We discuss also different approaches to diffractive production of heavy quark/antiquark. The particular mechanism is similar to the diffractive dissociation of virtual photons into quarks, which drives diffractive deep inelastic production of charm in the low-mass diffraction, or large β\beta-region.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, talk given by M.

    Dipole model analysis of highest precision HERA data, including very low Q2Q^2's

    Full text link
    We analyse, within a dipole model, the final, inclusive HERA DIS cross section data in the low xx region, using fully correlated errors. We show, that these highest precision data are very well described within the dipole model framework starting from Q2Q^2 values of 3.5 GeV2^2 to the highest values of Q2=Q^2 = 250 GeV2^2.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1312.406
