Hadron-Gluon Interactions and the Pomeron
Abstract
Description
An interaction term is added to the QCD Lagrangian involving hadron and gluon fields. An effective vertex is calculated for such interactions through exchanges of reggeized gluons. This gives rise to an effective coupling for hadron-gluon elastic scattering in the t-channel, which is used in an inclusive hadron-hadron interaction from which the Pomeron intercept alpha(0) is calculated.
