exclusive J/ from HERA data as an independent source of information on unintegr. gluons,needed for the H-Central Excl. Higgs Production (TT,GW)
Exclusive U production at the LHC as probe of unintegrated gluons

in a peaceful coexistence
a nice way to search for the Odderon ( LM, AM, JN) a potential discovery channel
Give us unintegrated gluons in advance (P.Bussey )

Selected Selected HotHot Topics Topics
Importance for the Forward Physics Studies at the LHC
Serve as a litmus paper indicator of the level of our knowledge (theory & experiment) on diffractive physics at high energies
Account for the absorption effects -necessitated by unitarity
Survival of the Survival Factor
(Regular talks by U. Maor (GLM), A. Martin (KMR) and M. Strikman (FHSW))
S² -a crucial ingredient of the calculations of the rate of the Central Excl. Diffractive processes +….. Prospects of New Physics studies in the Forward Proton mode
qualitatively new stage –a ‘delivery’ of our meetings
• orders of magnitude differences in theoretical expectations – are a history
(not so long ago- between Scylla and Charybdis)
• new (encouraging) CED Tevatron results available, more results to come (K. Goulianos, J. Pinfold)
• we are discussing now the differences on the level of a factor of (4-5) (M. Strikman)
conflict of interests
12A killing blow to the wide range of theoretical models.

Approach to the Black Disc Regime
(how rapid is it above 2 TeV ?)
1. KMR slow (logarithmic) rise by few % at the LHC
2. FHSW BDR for energies 2 TeV (soft interactions and hard dipole-proton int. up to )
3. GLM(M) two components : ‘conservative’ + BDR-like
START: at 2 TeV FINISH: BDR, =1

(tot) , (el) , (SD)
Bread and butter of TOTEM and ALFA measurements
Importance for various LHC studies ( e.g. notorious Pile-Up)
Low mass SD (DD)- one of the major current limitations on the models( still not sufficient exp. Information)
KMR-07, A. Martin: relatively low (about 20% below the ‘standard’ central value) value of (tot) at the LHC ( S.Sapeta and K. Golec-Biernat-05)
, (tot) 90 mb …cosmic rays, (early) LHC tests – coming soon
inescapable consequence of the absorptive corrections caused by the higher-mass excitations (A.Martin)
GLM (arXiv; 0805.0418): (tot ) =110.5 mb, (el) =25.3 mb
(GLM)M (arXiv; 0805.2799): (tot ) = 92,1 mb, (el) =20.9 mb KMR (A.Martin) (tot ) =90.5 mb, (el) =20.8 mb
GLM(M)- essential improvement of their description of the Tevatron elastic and SD data
18
We have to be open-eyed when the soft physics is involved.Theoretical models contain various assumptions and parameters.
Available data on soft diffraction at high energies are still fragmentary,especially concerning the (low mass) diffractive dissociation.
Selection Criteria for the Models of Soft Diffraction
A viable model should:
incorporate the inelastic diffraction :SD, DD (for instance 2-3 channel eikonal of KMR or GLM(M))
describe all the existing experimental data on elastic scattering and SD ,DD and CED at the Tevatron energies and below (A. Martin; GLM(M), 0805.2799 )
be able to explain the existing CDF data on the HERA-Tevatron factorization breaking and on the CED production of the di-jets, di-photons, , J/, .., lead. neutr. at HERA
provide testable pre-dictions or at least post-dictions for the Tevatron and HERA So far KMR model has passed these tests.
Only a large enough data set would impose the restriction order on the theoretical models and to create a full confidence in the determination of S².

LET THE DATA TALK !

What can HERA still provide ?
test higher twists
t- depencences (VM, (V)FPS
Odderon searches
(From DIS08)

More detailed data on proton dissociation in diffractive J/ production
(better statistics, M²-slicing).
Improved statistics on exclusive - production (not sufficient at the moment).
The ratio of diffractive to exclusive dijets, photo to electroproduction.
Transverse momentum distribution of secondaries in the ‘Pomeron fragmentation’.

Existing (ZEUS) data on J/ -still fragmentary Needed: - improved statistics; -distributions over M²Y -inelast. diffractive data;small size- component (small rescatter. effects)

Are the early LHC runs,without proton taggers,able to check estimatesfor pp p+A+p ?
Possible checks of:
(i) survival factor S2: W+gaps, Z+gaps
(ii) generalised gluon fg : p p
(iii) Sudakov factor T : 3 central jets
(iv) soft-hard factorisation #(A+gap) evts (enhanced absorptive corrn) #(inclusive A) evts with A = W, dijet, …

Exposing the contribution of the Perturbative Pomeron to DDIS
(G. Watt, A.Martin and M. Ryskin (2006))
The perturbative .resolved Pomeron contribution.
Measurements of the kt of secondaries in the ‘Pomeron fragmentation’ (edge of LRG).
The kt distribution of the lowest jet should obey the power law – in marked contrast with the expectations based on Regge-factorization.
Larger kt of the secondaries with the long power-like tail should be observed.
