Abstract:

Diffractive production of D^*±(2010) mesons in deep inelastic scattering has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 44.3 pb^-1. Diffractive charm production is identified by the presence of a large rapidity gap in the final state of events in which a D^*±(2010) meson is reconstructed in the decay channel D^*+ → (D⁰ → K^-π⁺)πs ⁺ (+ charge conjugate). Differential cross sections when compared with theoretical predictions indicate the importance of gluons in such diffractive interactions. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:

Diffractive dissociation of virtual photons, γ*p → Xp, has been studied in ep interactions with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The data cover photon virtualities 0.17 < Q² < 0.70 GeV² and 3 < Q² < 80 GeV² with 3 < MX < 38 GeV, where MX is the mass of the hadronic final state. Diffractive events were selected by two methods: the first required the detection of the scattered proton in the ZEUS leading proton spectrometer (LPS); the second was based on the distribution of MX. The integrated luminosities of the low- and high-Q² samples used in the LPS-based analysis are ≃ 0.9 pb^-1 and ≃ 3.3 pb^-1, respectively. The sample used for the MX-based analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of ≃ 6.2 pb^-1. The dependence of the diffractive cross section on W, the virtual photon-proton centre-of-mass energy, and on Q² is studied. In the low-Q² range, the energy dependence is compatible with Regge theory and is used to determine the intercept of the Pomeron trajectory. The W dependence of the diffractive cross section exhibits no significant change from the low-Q² to the high-Q² region. In the low-Q² range, little Q² dependence is found, a significantly different behaviour from the rapidly falling cross section measured for Q² > 3 GeV². The ratio of the diffractive to the virtual photon-proton total cross section is studied as a function of W and Q². Comparisons are made with a model based on perturbative QCD.
