Diffractive deep inelastic scattering from the generalized BFKL pomeron. Predictions for HERA
- Universita di Torino (Italy)

The authors present microscopic QCD calculation of the cross-section of diffractive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and of the partonic structure of the pomeron from the dipole approach to the generalized BFKL pomeron. They carry out a detailed analysis of how one can factor out the nonperturbative normalization of the diffractive DIS cross-section and its Q{sup 2}-evolution, which can be cast in the form of the conventional QCD evolution. The authors demonstrate that the pomeron cannot be treated as a particle with uniquely defined structure function and flux in the proton. They find strong factorization breaking which can approximately be described by the two-component structure function of the pomeron, each component endowed with a different flux of pomerons in the proton. They predict that the diffractive contribution to the proton structure function has very weak Q{sup 2}-dependence. 32 refs., 6 figs.
