We study the reactions $\gamma^*(Q^2)p\to\rho^0 p$ and $\gamma^*(Q^2)p\to\gamma^*(Q^2) p$ at large Q^2 and $W^2/Q^2$ and small momentum transfer, $\kappa^2_\perp$, to the nucleon where the pomeron exchange dominates. At large Q^2 the virtual photon selects a hard $q\bar q$ pair, thus selecting the hard pomeron component (the BFKL pomeron). The amplitudes for both transverse and longitudinal polarizations of the initial photon and outgoing $\rho$-meson (photon) are calculated in the framework of the BFKL pomeron exchange. Our calculations show that one cannot expect the early onset of the pure perturbative regime in the discussed diffractive processes: the small interquark distances, $\rho_{q\bar q} <0.2$ fm, start to dominate not earlier than at $Q^2 \simeq 100 GeV^2, W^2/Q^2 \simeq 10^7$ in $\gamma^*(Q^2)p\to\rho^0 p$ and $Q^2 \simeq 50 GeV^2, W^2/Q^2 \simeq 10^6$ in $\gamma^*(Q^2)p\to\gamma^*(Q^2) p$.

Pomeron in diffractive processes $γ^*(Q^2)p\toρ^0 p$ and $γ^*(Q^2)p\toγ^*(Q^2) p$ at large Q^2: the onset of pQCD does not yet have a rating. At this time, there are no reviews or comments for this scientific paper.
If you have personal experience with Pomeron in diffractive processes $γ^*(Q^2)p\toρ^0 p$ and $γ^*(Q^2)p\toγ^*(Q^2) p$ at large Q^2: the onset of pQCD, we encourage you to share that experience with our LandOfFree.com community. Your opinion is very important and Pomeron in diffractive processes $γ^*(Q^2)p\toρ^0 p$ and $γ^*(Q^2)p\toγ^*(Q^2) p$ at large Q^2: the onset of pQCD will most certainly appreciate the feedback.
