Diffractive rho production with an AdS/QCD holographic wavefunction for the rho meson

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that AdS/QCD models can accurately predict the rate of diffractive rho-meson electroproduction, aligning well with experimental data from the HERA collider.

Contribution

It introduces an AdS/QCD holographic wavefunction for the rho meson and validates its predictions against experimental measurements.

Findings

AdS/QCD predictions match HERA data for rho production

Holographic wavefunction effectively models rho meson structure

Supports AdS/QCD as a viable approach in hadronic physics

Abstract

We report on the results of our recent research published in [1] that shows that AdS/QCD generates predictions for the rate of diffractive \rho-meson electroproduction that are in agreement with data collected at the HERA electron-proton collider [2,3]. Preliminary results of this research were presented in [4].
