Violation of Geometric Scaling in Deep Inelastic Scattering Due to Coulomb Corrections

Abstract: We compute the Coulomb correction to the total and diffractive cross sections for virtual photon scattering off a heavy nucleus at low x. We show that it violates the geometric scaling in a wide range of photon virtualities and is weakly x-independent. In heavy nuclei at low Q 2 the Coulomb correction to the total and diffractive cross sections is about 20% and 40% correspondingly.

“…The results are consistent with those obtained in Ref. [26], even including the heavy quark contribution, showing that the Coulomb correction is quite important in the kinematical region of low-Q 2 and small-x and it is enhanced for the heavier nuclei. In the perturbative range that will be probed in the future EIC (Q 2 > ∼ 1 GeV 2 ) and A = 197, the Coulomb contribution is ≈ 10 (21)% for the inclusive (diffractive) cross section.…”

“…As obtained in Ref. [26], the electromagnetic contribution for the inclusive and diffractive cross sections are equal, differently from the strong one. As a consequence we expect that its impact on inclusive and diffractive observables will be different.…”
