The Tensor Pomeron and Low-x Deep Inelastic Scattering

Understand

The tensor-pomeron model is applied to low-x deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering and photoproduction.

• We consider c.m.
• energies in the range 6 - 318 GeV and Q^2 < 50 GeV^2.
• In addition to the soft tensor pomeron, which has proven quite successful for the description of soft hadronic high-energy reactions, we include a hard tensor pomeron.
