Abstract:

Events with a large rapidity gap in deep inelastic scattering with Q2 ≥ 10 GeV2 have been studied in the ZEUS detector. The properties of these events with W > 140 GeV are consistent with a leading twist diffractive production mechanism. In the laboratory frame, with ETjet ≥ 4 GeV, 15% of the events are of the 1-jet type with negligible 2-jet production. The single jet is back-to-back in azimuth with the scattered electron. No energy flow is observed between the jet and the proton direction. With a lower jet transverse energy cut 2-jet production is observed both in the laboratory and the γ* p centre-of-mass systems, demonstrating the presence of hard scattering in the virtual photon proton interactions that give rise to large rapidity gap events. © 1994.

Abstract:

Jets in photoproduction events have been studied with the ZEUS detector for γp centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 to 250 GeV. The inclusive jet distributions give evidence for the dominance of resolved photon interactions. In the di-jet sample the direct processes are for the first time clearly isolated. Di-jet cross sections for the resolved and direct processes are given in a restricted kinematic range. © 1994.

Abstract:

This paper presents our first measurement of the F2 structure function in neutral-current, deep inelastic scattering using the ZEUS detector at HERA, the ep colliding beam facility at DESY. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 24.7 nb-1. Results are presented for data in range of Q2 from 10 GeV2 to 4700 GeV2 and Bjorken x down to 3.0 × 10-4. The F2 structure function increases rapidly as x decreases. © 1993.
