The Process gamma* + p -> etac + X: A Test for the Perturbative QCD Odderon
Abstract
The rates of inclusive photo- and electroproduction of the etac meson: gamma* + p -> etac + X are calculated in the triple Regge region, integrated over the diffractive mass X. For the Regge exchanges we use the hard Pomeron and Odderon, both being calculated in the framework of perturbative QCD. The integrated cross-section depends upon the coupling of the BFKL pomeron to two C=-1 odderons, and it is found to be of the order 60 pb for photoproduction and 1.5 pb at Q2=25 GeV2.
