Low-x scaling in total cross sections

Abstract: We show that the experimental data for the total virtual-photon proton cross section, σ γ * p (W 2 , Q 2 ), for x bj ∼ < 0.1 lie on a universal curve, when plotted against η = (Q 2 + m 2 0 )/Λ 2 (W 2 ), where Λ 2 (W 2 ) = C 1 (W 2 + W 2 0 ) C 2 is determined by the parameters C 1 , C 2 and W 2 0 . The observed scaling law follows from the generalizedvector-dominance/colour-dipole picture (GVD/CDP) of low-x deep inelastic scattering.

“…Actually, explicit calculations become much simpler if, without much loss of generality, instead of a Gaussian a δ-function, located at a finite value of l 2 ⊥ , is used as an effective description ofσ (qqp) ( l 2 ⊥ , z, W 2 ). Accordingly, we adopt the simple ansatz [7],…”

“…It is amusing to note that the anticipated structure, in the framework of QCD, now finds an entirely different justification: the origin of the sign difference has shifted from the γ * (qq) vertices to the generic structure of the two-gluon-exchange amplitude in the purely hadronic (qq)p interaction. In confronting the theoretical results from Section 2 with the experimental data, we will follow the strategy employed in our recent communication [7]. In Section 3.1, accordingly, the prediction (2.30) of scaling for the γ * p total cross section,…”

“…Subsequently the system will pass from dilute to dense regime of QCD and to predicted but yet to be observed regime of saturation of gluon densities. Geometrical scaling of structure functions at low-x observed at HERA [21] is an indication of this regime to take place. Note that the resolution scale that is defined by the virtuality of the photon Q 2 is fixed in this case.…”
