Diffractive $\varphi$ electroproduction with a holographic meson wavefunction

Abstract

We predict the cross-section for diffractive $\varphi$ electroproduction within the dipole model, using a holographic meson wavefunction for the $\varphi$. For the dipole cross-section, we use the Color Glass Condensate dipole model whose parameters are fitted to the latest 2015 combined HERA data on Deep Inelastic Scattering. Choosing a strange quark mass of $0.14$ GeV, we find good agreement with the available data.
