Abstract:We calculate the amplitudes of J P C = 3 −− meson production in diffractive DIS within the k t -factorization approach, with a particular attention paid to the ρ 3 (1690) meson. We find that at all Q 2 the ρ 3 (1690) production cross section is 2-5 times smaller than the ρ(1700) production cross section, which is assumed to be a pure D-wave state. Studying σ L and σ T separately, we observe domination of ρ 3 in σ L and domination of ρ(1700) in σ T and offer an explanation of this behavior in simple terms. We a… Show more
