Pomwig v2.0 : Updates for Double Diffraction
نویسنده
چکیده
We extend the POMWIG Monte Carlo generator developed by B. Cox and J. Forshaw, to include new models of central production through inclusive and exclusive Double Pomeron Exchange in proton-proton collisions. Double photon Exchange processes are described as well, both in proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions. In all contexts, various models have been implemented, allowing for comparisons and uncertainty evaluation and enabling detailed experimental simulations.

متن کاملInclusive Double Diffractive Production of SUSY Particles at the LHC
We estimate the inclusive double diffractive production of SUSY particles at the LHC using a modified version of the POMWIG Monte Carlo event generator. The diffractive events are produced via the Ingelman–Schlein model for double pomeron exchange. The MSSM parameter space is scanned using the “Snowmass benchmark points” and it is shown that the lightest Higgs boson is the only SUSY particle wi...
متن کاملDouble Diffractive Higgs and Di-photon Production at the Tevatron and LHC
We use the POMWIG Monte Carlo generator to predict the cross-sections for double diffractive higgs and di-photon production at the Tevatron and LHC. We find that the higgs production cross-section is too small to be observable at Tevatron energies, and even at the LHC observation would be difficult. Double diffractive di-photon production, however, should be observable within one year of Tevatr...

We have modified the Herwig event generator to incorporate diffractive interactions. All standard Herwig hard subprocesses are available.
متن کاملCMS Results on Hard Diffraction
Diffractive processes contribute a significant fraction to the total inelastic proton-proton cross sections at high energies. These reactions can be described in terms of the exchange of a pomeron, a hypothetical object with the quantum numbers of the vacuum. The experimental signatures of diffractive events are the presence of non-exponentially suppressed large rapidity gaps and/or presence of...
