Slide 13 IFAE04 Torino aprile 2004 Marcella Capua INFN e Universita' della Calabria 13 Lifetime of dipoles very long it is the dipole that interacts with the proton Transverse size 1/ (Q 2 + M qq 2 ) This is why can do diffraction in ep collisions ! Virtual photon fluctuates to qq, qqg states (colour dipoles) Transverse size of incoming hadron beam can be reduced at will. Can be so small that strong interaction with proton becomes perturbative (colour transparency) ! The colour dipole picture ** ** Two models : Saturation Model (Golec-Biernat and M. Wusthoff) BEKW model (Bartels, Ellis, Kowalski and Wsthoff) Slide 14 IFAE04 Torino aprile 2004 Marcella Capua INFN e Universita' della Calabria 14 Saturation vs data (LPS) (Bartels, Golec-Biernat, Kowalski) Q2Q2 x IP F 2 D(3) F2F2 Inclusive diffraction: Inclusive DIS: Data well described by BGK saturation model Slide 15 IFAE04 Torino aprile 2004 Marcella Capua INFN e Universita' della Calabria 15 Main features of the data described by BEKW parametrization (x IP
