Diffractive charm production is identified by the presence of a large rapidity gap in the final state of events in which a D*+-(2010) meson is reconstructed in the decay channel D*+ -> (D0 -> K-pi+) pi+ (+ charge conjugate). Differential cross sections when compared with theoretical predictions indicate the importance of gluons in such diffractive interactions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-08-28T11:32:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "deep inelastic scattering", "diffractive production", "measurement", "differential cross sections", "large rapidity gap" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 588104 } } }
