Diffractive vector mesons at large momentum transfer from the BFKL equation
arXiv:hep-ph/0207034
Abstract
Diffractive vector meson photoproduction accompanied by proton dissociation is studied for large momentum transfer. The process is described by the non-forward BFKL equation, for which an analytical solution is found for all conformal spins, giving the scattering amplitude. Results are compared to HERA data on rho production.
