Diffractive Scattering Non-Diffractive Event ZEUS detector Diffractive Event MX - invariant mass of all particles seen in the central detector t - momentum transfer to the diffractively scattered proton t - conjugate variable to the impact parameter
Diffractive Signature diff Non- diff ~ DY= log(W2/M2X) Non-Diffraction Diffraction - Rapidity uniform, uncorrelated particle emission along the rapidity axis => probability to see a gap DY is ~ exp(-<n>DY) <n> - average multipl. per unit of Y dN/dM2X ~ 1/M2X => dN/dlog M2X ~ const

Conclusions We are developing a very good understanding of inclusive and diffractive DIS interactions: F2 , F2D(3) , F2c , Vector Mesons (J/Psi,f,r) HERA measurements suggests presence of Saturation phenomena Saturation scale determined at HERA agrees with RHIC Observation of diffraction indicates multi-gluon interaction effects -> Underlying events at LHC may be process dependent Diffractive LHC ~ pure Gluon Collider => investigations of properties of the gluon cloud in the new region Gluon Cloud is a fundamental QCD object - SOLVE QCD!!!! _____________________________________________________ Diffractive vector mesons scattering - an excellent probe of nuclear matter Ideal device: e-RHIC like machine with ~1/3 of HERA energy
