Zoller Diffractive beauty photoproduction as a short distance probe of QCD pomeron 2001 12 .pdf application/pdf 2813 527 86 High-energy open beauty photoproduction probes the vacuum exchange at distances ∼ 1/mb of beauty, charm and light quarks exhibits the hierarchy of pre-asymptotic pomeron intercepts which follows the hierarchy of corresponding hardness scales. terms of interaction of small size quark-antiquark bb̄ color dipoles in the photon. open beauty to photo-absorption cross section is given by color dipole factorization formula The leading eigen-function σ0(r) for ground state i.e., for the rightmost hard BFKL pole, BFKL-Regge expansion for the beauty SF of the proton (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, soft) numerically r1 > rS and the rightmost nodes of subleading eigen-cross sections σn(r) are open beauty photoproduction cross sections (lower solid curve) is confronted to the HERA still higher collision energies both the soft and subleading hard BFKL exchanges become Fig.3 Predictions from CD BFKL-Regge factorization for the heavy flavor QQ̄ photoproduction cross section.
