| Parallel Session 6 www-h1.desy.de/h1/www/publications/conf/conf list.html Measurement and NLO DGLAP QCD Interpretation of Diffractive Deep-Inelastic Scattering at HERA H1 Collaboration Abstract A high precision inclusive measurement of the diffractive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) process ep eXY is presented, where Y is a proton or a low mass proton excitation carrying a fraction 1 x IP > 0.95 of the beam longitudinal momentum and the squared 4-momentum transfer at the proton vertex t > . The measurement, based on an integrated luminosity of 10.6 pb -1 , is presented in the form of a diffractive r , measured in the kinematic range 6.5 0.9 and 10 -4 x IP < 0.05. The ratio of the diffractive to the inclusive ) is measured and found to be remarkably flat as a function of Q with x and x IP fixed. The measured cross section is compared with various models for diffractive DIS. The x IP dependence of the data is interpreted in terms of a measurement of the effective pomeron intercept # IP (0) = 1.173 (model). A NLO DGLAP QCD fit is performed to the data, together with an assessment of the experimental and theoretical uncertainties on the resulting diffractive parton densities. The diffractive exchange is shown to be dominated by the diffractive gluon density, which carries an integrated fraction 75 15% of the exchanged momentum at Q and extends to large fractional momenta. The parton densities are used to make updated comparisons with diffractive dijet and open charm cross sections at HERA and the Tevatron, thus testing the factorisation properties of hard diffraction. | |||||||||||||
