arXiv:hep-ph/0306232 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2003/09/008
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 a complete analytical solution is found. The scattering amplitudes for all combinations of helicity are presented.
