Triple-pomeron dynamics: valence vs. glue
Three pomerons are known to couple via the gluon loop and interactions of this kind, which are responsible for high-mass diffraction, are described in terms of the gluonic structure function of the QCD pomeron. We show that the triple-pomeron coupling via the light quark loop associated with the “va...

| Zusammenfassung: | Three pomerons are known to couple via the gluon loop and interactions of this kind, which are responsible for high-mass diffraction, are described in terms of the gluonic structure function of the QCD pomeron. We show that the triple-pomeron coupling via the light quark loop associated with the “valence” in the pomeron is of the same strength as the purely gluonic coupling. The large
