Predictions for Diffractive $\varphi$ Meson Production Using an AdS/QCD Light-front Wavefunction

Abstract

We compute the rate for diffractive $\varphi$ electro-production using the Color Glass Condensate dipole model. The model parameters are obtained from fits to the most recent combined HERA data on inclusive deep inelastic scattering. As for the $\varphi$ meson, we use an AdS/QCD holographic light front wavefunction. Our predictions are compared to the available data collected at the HERA collider.
