An AdS/QCD holographic wavefunction for the rho meson and diffractive rho meson electroproduction

Abstract

We show that AdS/QCD generates predictions for the rate of diffractive rho meson electroproduction that are in agreement with data collected at the HERA electron-proton collider.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures. Figure 3 added to illustrate that the AdS/QCD prediction is impressive. Accepted for publication in Physical Review Letter
