• Eikonal exponentiation (Glauber-Mueller, MV):

• Depends on impact parameter, momentum scale• Define saturation scale Qs by

• Estimate Qs using indicative models for proton impact-parameter profile and gluon distribution:

• + DGLAP evol.

Pomeron and Gauge/String DualityBrower, Polchinski, Strassler, and Tan, hep-th/0603115

Pomeron is a coherent color-singlet object, build from gluons, with universal properties; it is a closed string propagating in ADS space,when the conformal symmetry is broken at some infrared point in the fifth dimension

Consequences for LHC

Good knowledge of gluon density around x~10-2 and Q2~10000 GeV2

is essential for LHC physics (Higgs region)

Large effort is going into precise measurement of W and Z inclusive X-sections precise determination of sea-quark distributions

precise gluon density

Is the sea-quark gluon density relation the same in the DGLAP-like picture (MRST/CTEQ) and DAF-Pomeron?

sea-quark gluon relation can be checked by the jets with pT around 50 GeV?

Consequences for LHC

Can be measured with help of forward detectors down to x~10-7 ?

Consequences for LHC

– Examples:• pp → p (jet pair), pp → p (D Λc)• pp → p ηc p, (RHIC) pp → p H p (LHC)• pp → p (jet pair) p

Measure the t-dependence of ω:Is DAF-Pomeron moving towards the Graviton or away from it? (EIC)

• Consider diffractive production of a ‘small’ object• Single or double diffraction?

– y = ln(s/mX2) or y1 + y2 = ln(s/mX

Consequences for EIC

Measure precisely the dependence of inclusive and exclusive diffractive processes (DVCS, J/Psi, rho, phi…)

Investigate QCD evolution with diffractive processespure evolution of ~(gluon density)2t-dependence of effective exponents

!!! Investigate Structure of Matter as x increases !!!

Note: QCD evolution at HERA studied only with F2H1 and ZEUS measurement for F2 agree to ~3%for diffractive processes systematic differencesare factor 10 larger

Main reason: HERA experiments control only ~2/3of the rapidity range

Instead of Conclusions

Study of Gluon Density are very important becauseit is the analog of Black Body Radiation in QED

It seemed hopeless to study pure Gluon Radiation since it is never free. However, it is becoming free for a short moment in HEP reactions

HERA has shown that physics processes at low-x are completely dominated by pure Gluon Density,

Investigation of Gluon Density has a chance to become asfundamental as Black Body radiation
