Theory of Hard Diffraction and Rapidity Gaps
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk we review the models describing the hard diffractive production of jets or more generally high-mass states in presence of rapidity gaps in hadron-hadron and lepton-hadron collisions. By rapidity gaps we mean regions on the lego plot in (pseudo)-rapidity and azimuthal angle where no hadrons are produced, between the jet(s) and an elastically scattered hadron (single hard diffraction) or between two jets (double hard diffraction).

Diffractive p̄p interactions are characterized by a leading (high longitudinal momentum) outgoing proton or antiproton and/or a large rapidity gap, defined as a region of pseudorapidity, η ≡ − ln tan θ 2 , devoid of particles. The large rapidity gap is presumed to be due to the exchange of a Pomeron, which carries the internal quantum numbers of the vacuum. Rapidity gaps formed by multiplicity f...
متن کاملHard Diffractive Results and Prospects at the Tevatron
We review hard diffractive results and prospects at the Tevatron with an emphasis on factorization breaking in diffractive processes. Upper limits on the exclusive di-jet and χ0 c production cross sections at CDF and the status of the DØ Forward Proton Detectors are discussed. DIFFRACTION AT THE TEVATRON Diffractive events are mediated by the exchange of color singlets with vacuum quantum numbe...

Results on soft and hard diffraction are briefly reviewed and placed in a QCD perspective using a parton model approach. Issues addressed include factorization, scaling properties, universality of rapidity gap formation, and unitarity. Predictions for differential cross sections of processes with multiple rapidity gaps are presented with examples for the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider. ...

متن کاملEnergy and Color Flow in Dijet Rapidity Gaps
When rapidity gaps in high-pT dijet events are identified by energy flow in the central region, they may be calculated from factorized cross sections in perturbative QCD, up to corrections that behave as inverse powers of the central region energy. Although power-suppressed corrections may be important, a perturbative calculation of dijet rapidity gaps in pp̄ scattering successfully reproduces t...
