Isabell-Alissandra Melzer-Pellmann
TL;DR
This paper discusses the measurement of diffractive interactions in electron-proton collisions at HERA, using QCD fits to extract diffractive parton distribution functions and testing QCD factorisation with various data.
Contribution
It presents the extraction of diffractive PDFs from experimental data and tests QCD factorisation in diffractive processes.
Findings
Diffractive PDFs are obtained from HERA data.
QCD factorisation is tested with dijet and charm production data.
Results support the validity of QCD factorisation in diffraction.
Abstract
The H1 and ZEUS experiments are measuring diffractive interactions in ep collisions at HERA. Performing QCD fits of these data with NLO DGLAP, diffractive parton distribution functions can be calculated. These diffractive PDFs can be used to test QCD factorisation with dijet and charm data.
