Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The cross section of diffractive deep-inelastic scattering ep -> eXp is measured, where the system X contains at least two jets and the leading final state proton is detected in the H1 Forward Proton Spectrometer. The measurement is performed for fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss x(P) < 0.1 and covers the range 0.1 < vertical bar t vertical bar < 0.7 GeV2 in squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex and 4 < Q(2) < 110 GeV2 in photon virtuality. The differential cross sections extrapolated to vertical bar t vertical bar < 1 GeV2 are in agreement with next-to-leading order QCD predictions based on diffractive parton distribution functions extracted from measurements of inclusive and dijet cross sections in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering. The data are also compared with leading order Monte Carlo models.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The inclusive photoproduction of D* mesons and of D*-tagged dijets is investigated with the H1 detector at the ep collider HERA. The kinematic region covers small photon virtualities Q(2) < 2 GeV2 and photon-proton centre-of-mass energies of 100< W-gamma p < 285 GeV. Inclusive D* meson differential cross sections are measured for central rapidities vertical bar eta(D*)vertical bar < 1.5 and transverse momenta p(T) (D*) > 1.8 GeV. The heavy quark production process is further investigated in events with at least two jets with transverse momentum p(T) (jet) > 3.5 GeV each, one containing the D* meson. Differential cross sections for D*-tagged dijet production and for correlations between the jets are measured in the range vertical bar eta(D*)vertical bar < 1.5 and p(T) (D*) > 2.1 GeV. The results are compared with predictions from Monte Carlo simulations and next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The production of photons at very small angles with respect to the proton beam direction is studied in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA. The data are taken with the H1 detector in the years 2006 and 2007 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 126 pb(-1). The analysis covers the range of negative four momentum transfer squared at the positron vertex 6 < Q(2) < 100 GeV2 and inelasticity 0.05 < y < 0.6. Cross sections are measured for the most energetic photon with pseudorapidity eta > 7.9 as a function of its transverse momentum p(T)(lead) and longitudinal momentum fraction of the incoming proton x(L)(lead). In addition, the cross sections are studied as a function of the sum of the longitudinal momentum fraction x(L)(sum) L of all photons in the pseudorapidity range. > 7.9. The cross sections are normalised to the inclusive deep-inelastic scattering cross section and compared to the predictions of models of deep-inelastic scattering and models of the hadronic interactions of high energy cosmic rays.

Measurement of the azimuthal correlation between the most forward jet and the scattered positron in deep-inelastic scattering at HERA
- 2012
-
In: European Physical Journal C. Particles and Fields. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1434-6044. ; 72:3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering events at low photon virtuality, Q(2), with a forward jet, produced at small angles with respect to the proton beam, are measured with the H1 detector at HERA. A subsample of events with an additional jet in the central region is also studied. For both samples, differential cross sections and normalised distributions are measured as a function of the azimuthal angle difference, Delta phi, between the forward jet and the scattered positron in bins of the rapidity distance, Y, between them. The data are compared to predictions of Monte Carlo generators based on different evolution approaches as well as to next-to-leading order calculations in order to test the sensitivity to QCD evolution mechanisms.

Measurement of the diffractive longitudinal structure function F(L)(D) at HERA
- 2011

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- First measurements are presented of the diffractive cross section sigma(ep) -> eXY at centre-of-mass energies root s of 225 and 252 GeV, together with a precise new measurement at root s of 319 GeV, using data taken with the H1 detector in the years 2006 and 2007. Together with previous H1 data at root s of 301 GeV, the measurements are used to extract the diffractive longitudinal structure function F(L)(D) in the range of photon virtualities 4.0 <= Q(2) <= 44.0 GeV(2) and fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss 5 x 10(-4) <= x(P) <= 3 x 10(-3). The measured F(L)(D) is compared with leading twist predictions based on diffractive parton densities extracted in NLO QCD fits to previous measurements of diffractive Deep-Inelastic Scattering and with a model which additionally includes a higher twist contribution derived from a colour dipole approach. The ratio of the diffractive cross section induced by longitudinally polarised photons to that for transversely polarised photons is extracted and compared with the analogous quantity for inclusive Deep-Inelastic Scattering.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A search for physics beyond the Standard Model in neutral current deep inelastic scattering at high negative four-momentum transfer squared Q(2) is performed in e(+/-)p collisions at HERA. The differential cross section d sigma/dQ(2), measured using the full H1 data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 446 pb(-1), is compared to the Standard Model prediction. No significant deviation is observed. Limits on various models predicting new phenomena at high Q(2) are derived. For general four-fermion eeqq contact interaction models, lower limits on the compositeness scale A are set in the range 3.6 TeV to 7.2 TeV. Leptoquarks with masses M-LQ and couplings lambda are constrained to M-LQ/lambda > 0.41-1.86 TeV and limits on squarks in R-parity violating supersymmetric models are derived. A lower limit on the gravitational scale in 4 + n dimensions of M-S > 0.9 TeV is established for low-scale quantum gravity effects in models with large extra dimensions. For the light quark radius an upper bound of R-q < 0.65 . 10(-18) m is determined. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

- A search for first generation scalar and vector leptoquarks produced in ep collisions is performed by the H1 experiment at HERA. The full H1 data sample is used in the analysis, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 446 pb(-1). No evidence for the production of leptoquarks is observed in final states with a large transverse momentum electron or with large missing transverse momentum, and constraints on leptoquark models are derived. For leptoquark couplings of electromagnetic strength lambda = 0.3, first generation leptoquarks with masses up to 800 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

- A search for second and third generation scalar and vector leptoquarks produced in ep collisions via the lepton flavour violating processes ep -> mu X and ep -> tau X is performed by the H1 experiment at HERA. The full data sample taken at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 319 GeV is used for the analysis, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 245 pb(-1) of e(+)p and 166 pb(-1) of e(-)p collision data. No evidence for the production of such leptoquarks is observed in the H1 data. Leptoquarks produced in e(+/-)p collisions with a coupling strength of lambda = 0.3 and decaying with the same coupling strength to a muon-quark pair or a tau-quark pair are excluded at 95% confidence level up to leptoquark masses of 712 GeV and 479 GeV, respectively.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Cross sections for elastic and proton-dissociative photoproduction of J/psi mesons are measured with the H1 detector in positron-proton collisions at HERA. The data were collected at ep centre-of-mass energies root s approximate to 318 GeV and root s approximate to 225 GeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of L = 130 pb(-1) and L = 10.8 pb(-1), respectively. The cross sections are measured as a function of the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy in the range 25 < W-gamma p < 110 GeV. Differential cross sections d sigma/dt, where t is the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex, are measured in the range vertical bar t vertical bar < 1.2 GeV2 for the elastic process and vertical bar t vertical bar < 8 GeV2 for proton dissociation. The results are compared to other measurements. The W-gamma p and t-dependences are parametrised using phenomenological fits.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Charged particle production in deep-inelastic ep scattering is measured with the H1 detector at HERA. The kinematic range of the analysis covers low photon virtualities, 5 < Q(2) < 100 GeV2, and small values of Bjorken-x, 10(-4) < x < 10(-2). The analysis is performed in the hadronic centre-of-mass system. The charged particle densities are measured as a function of pseudorapidity (n(*)) and transverse momentum (p(T)(*)) in the range 0 < n(*) < 5 and 0 < p(T)(*) < 10 GeV in bins of x and Q(2). The data are compared to predictions from different Monte Carlo generators implementing various options for hadronisation and parton evolutions.
