Diffractive Deep-Inelastic Scattering with a Leading Proton at HERA

Abstract

The cross section for the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process $ep\to eXp$ is measured, with the leading final state proton detected in the H1 Forward Proton Spectrometer. The data analysed cover the range \xpom <0.1 in fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss, 0.08 < |t| < 0.5 GeV^{-2} in squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex, 2 < Q^2 < 50 GeV^2 in photon virtuality and 0.004 < β= x / \xpom < 1, where x is the Bjorken scaling variable. For $\xpom \lapprox 10^{-2}$, the differential cross section has a dependence of approximately $\mathrm{d}\sigma /\mathrm{d}t\propto e^{6t}$, independently of \xpom, βand Q^2 within uncertainties. The cross section is also measured triple differentially in \xpom, βand Q^2. The \xpom dependence is interpreted in terms of an effective pomeron trajectory with intercept $α_{\pom}(0)=1.114 \pm 0.018 ({\rm stat.}) \pm 0.012 ({\rm syst.}) ^{+0.040}_{-0.020} ({\rm model})$ and a sub-leading exchange. The data are in good agreement with an H1 measurement for which the event selection is based on a large gap in the rapidity distribution of the final state hadrons, after accounting for proton dissociation contributions in the latter. Within uncertainties, the dependence of the cross section on x and Q^2 can thus be factorised from the dependences on all studied variables which characterise the proton vertex, for both the pomeron and the sub-leading exchange.
