Diffractive vector meson production at large- in coherent hadronic interactions at CERN LHC
The diffractive vector meson photoproduction with hadron dissociation in
coherent hadron-hadron interactions at LHC energies is studied assuming that
the color singlet -channel exchange carries large momentum transfer. We
estimate the rapidity distribution and total cross section for the processes
and ( or )
considering the non-forward solution of the BFKL equation at high energy and
large momentum transfer. Our results indicate that the experimental
identification of these processes can be feasible at the LHC.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 1 table. Version to be published in European

Probing the BFKL dynamics in the Vector Meson Photoproduction at large -- in collisions at the CERN LHC
The photoproduction of vector mesons in collisions at LHC energies is
investigated assuming that the color singlet -channel exchange carries a
large momentum transfer . The rapidity distributions and total cross
sections for the process ,
with and representing a rapidity gap in the
final state, are estimated considering the non-forward solution of the BFKL
equation at high energy and large -- . A comparison with the predictions
obtained at the Born level also is presented. We predict a large enhancement of
the cross sections associated to the BFKL dynamics in the kinematical range
probed by the LHCb Collaboration. Moreover, our results indicate that the
experimental identification can be feasible at the LHC and that this process
can be used to probe the BFKL dynamics.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. Improved version to be published in
