Ad Lucem: QED parton distribution functions in the MMHT framework (2019)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Martin, A., Nathvani, R., & Thorne, R. (2019). Ad Lucem: QED parton distribution functions in the MMHT framework. The European Physical Journal C, 79(10), Article 811. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7296-0

We present the MMHT2015qed PDF set, resulting from the inclusion of QED corrections to the existing set of MMHT Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs), and which contain the photon PDF of the proton. Adopting an input distribution from the LUXqed formu... Read More about Ad Lucem: QED parton distribution functions in the MMHT framework.

Colliding Pomerons (2019)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2019). Colliding Pomerons. Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 46(11), Article 11LT01. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/ab3a88

We recall the main properties of inclusive particle distributions expected for Pomeron-proton and Pomeron–Pomeron interactions. Due to the small size of the Pomeron we expect larger transverse momenta of secondaries and a smaller probability of multi... Read More about Colliding Pomerons.

The fusion of hard and soft Pomerons: 3-jet diffractive production (2019)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., Ryskin, M., Shuvaev, A., & Surnin, I. (2019). The fusion of hard and soft Pomerons: 3-jet diffractive production. The European Physical Journal C, 79(7), Article 605. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7120-x

We consider the central exclusive production of high E_T jets pp\rightarrow p+(X+\mathrm{dijet})+p. In particular we study the possible contamination of the purely exclusive signal by semi-exclusive production where no other secondaries are emitted i...

Exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions (2019)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2019). Exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions. Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 46(8), Article 085002. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/ab2009

We discuss the salient features of exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions at LHC energies. Special attention is paid to the space-time picture of the process. We account for both coherent and incoherent contributions. The explicit... Read More about Exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions.

Searching for the odderon in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC (2019)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2019). Searching for the odderon in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC. Physical Review D, 99(3), Article 034011. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.99.034011

We explore the possibility of observing odderon exchange in proton-ion collisions at the LHC, via the ultraperipheral photoproduction of C-even mesons. As well as the signal, we consider in detail the principle backgrounds, due to QCD-initiated produ... Read More about Searching for the odderon in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC.

Absorptive effects and power corrections in low x DGLAP evolution (2019)
Journal Article
Pelicer, M., de Oliveira, E., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2019). Absorptive effects and power corrections in low x DGLAP evolution. The European Physical Journal C, 79(1), Article 9. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6515-4

We address a long standing problem concerning the scale behaviour of parton densities in the low x, low Q2 domain. We emphasize the important role of absorptive corrections at low x and use knowledge of diffractive deep inelastic scattering to exclud...
