Exclusive vs. Diffractive vector meson production in DIS at small x or off nuclei

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The diffractive production of vector mesons in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) is calcu- lated in the McLerran-Venugopalan model. This is relevant when large parton densities are probed by the virtual photon, as is the case at small Bjorken x or in DIS off nuclei. We investigate differences between the exclusive production (when the target doesn't break up) which dominates at small momentum transfer squared /t/. and the diffractive production (when the target scatters inelastically) which dominates at large /t/.
