Photon polarisation in diffractive deep inelastic scattering
arXiv:hep-ph/9709341 · doi:10.1007/s100520050221
Abstract
The distribution of a suitably defined azimuthal angle in diffractive deep inelastic scattering contains information on the polarisation of the exchanged photon. In particular it allows one to constrain the longitudinal diffractive structure function. We investigate the potential of such bounds in general and for particular diffractive final states.
