Abstract

We calculate the diffraction slope B D for diffractive deep inelastic scattering. We find a counterintuitive rise of B D in going from exclusive diffractive excitation of vector mesons to excitation of continuum states with M 2∼Q 2. For the small-mass continuum we predict a rapid variation of B D with M 2 on a scale of m 2V and a sharp drop of B D for a small-mass continuum above the vector meson excitation.
