Diffractive ρand φ production at HERA using a holographic AdS/QCD light-front meson wave function

We use an anti-de Sitter/quantum chromodynamics holographic light-front wave function for the rho and phi mesons, in conjunction with the color glass condensate dipole cross section whose parameters are fitted to the most recent 2015 high precision HERA data on inclusive deep inelastic scattering, in order to predict the cross sections for diffractive rho and phi electroproduction. Our results suggest that the holographic meson light-front wave function is able to give a simultaneous description of rho and phi production data provided we use a set of light quark masses with m(u,d) < m(s) approximate to 0.14 GeV.
