Rapidity gap survival in enhanced Pomeron scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply the phenomenological Reggeon field theory framework to investigate rapidity gap survival (RGS) probability for diffractive dijet production in proton-proton collisions. In particular, we study in some detail rapidity gap suppression due to elastic rescatterings of intermediate partons in the underlying parton cascades, described by enhanced (Pomeron-Pomeron interaction) diagrams. We demonstrate that such contributions play a subdominant role, compared to the usual, so-called "eikonal", rapidity gap suppression due to elastic rescatterings of constituent partons of the colliding protons. On the other hand, the overall RGS factor proves to be sensitive to color fluctuations in the proton. Hence, experimental data on diffractive dijet production can be used to constrain the respective model approaches.

Soft processes at the LHC II: Soft-hard factorization breaking and gap survival
We calculate the probability that the rapidity gaps in diffractive processes survive both eikonal and enhanced rescattering. We present arguments that enhanced rescattering, which violates soft-hard factorization, is not very strong. Accounting for NLO effects, there is no reason to expect that the black disc regime is reached at the LHC. We discuss the predictions for the survival of the rapid...

متن کاملAre Two Gluons the QCD Pomeron?
Collider experiments have recently measured the production cross section of hard jets separated by a rapidity gap as a function of transverse momentum and gap size. We show that these measurements reveal the relative frequencies for the production of rapidity gaps in quark-quark, quark-gluon and gluon-gluon interactions. The results are at variance with the idea that the exchange of 2 gluons is...
متن کاملProduction of Jet Pairs at Large Relative Rapidity in Hadron-Hadron Collisions as a Probe of the Perturbative Pomeron
The production of jet pairs with small transverse momentum and large relative rapidity in high energy hadron-hadron collisions is studied. The rise of the parton-level cross section with increasing rapidity gap is a fundamental prediction of the BFKL ‘perturbative pomeron’ equation of Quantum Chromodynamics. However, at fixed collider energy it is difficult to disentangle this effect from varia...
متن کاملNon-factorizable Contributions to the Large Rapidity Gap at Hera
The large rapidity gap events from HERA are analyzed within a model containing a pomeron and an f − reggeon contribution. The choice for the pomeron contribution is based on the Donnachie-Landshoff model. The dependence of the " effective intercept " of the pomeron on the momentum fraction β and on its Bjorken variable ξ is calculated. The increasing precision of the HERA-measurements and the e...
