The QCD description of diffractive processes

  • 1. University of Durham, Department of Physics, Durham DH1 3LE (United Kingdom)

Description

We review the application of perturbative QCD to diffractive processes. We introduce the two-gluon exchange model to describe diffractive qq-tildeg and qq-tildeg production in deep inelastic scattering. We study the triple Regge limit and briefly consider multiple gluon exchange. We discuss diffractive vector meson production at HERA both at t=0 and large |t|. We demonstrate the non-factorization of diffractive processes at hadron colliders. (author)
