Diffractive Phenomena at Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
Preliminary results from the DØ experiment on jet production with rapidity gaps in pp collisions are presented. A class of dijet events with a forward rapidity gap is observed at center-of-mass energies √ s = 1800 GeV and 630 GeV. The number of events with rapidity gaps at both center-of-mass energies is significantly greater than the expectation from multiplicity fluctuations and is consistent with a hard single diffractive process. A class of events with two forward gaps and central dijets are also observed at 1800 GeV. This topology is consistent with hard double pomeron exchange. We also present proposed plans for extending these analysis into Run II through the use of a forward proton detector.

Diffraction of Protons and Nuclei at High Energies †
We review the description of high energy diffraction from both the s and t channel viewpoints, and demonstrate their consistency. We emphasize the role played by s channel unitarity and multi-Pomeron exchanges. We explain how these effects suppress hard diffractive processes. As examples, we describe the calculation of diffractive dijet production at the Tevatron and predict some of the rich di...
متن کاملDiffractive Higgs boson production at Tevatron and LHC: an experimental review
We discuss the different models of central diffractive production of the Higgs boson at the Tevatron and the LHC. We also describe how the models can be tested using diffractive production data being taken at the Tevatron. We finally discuss the advantages of using diffractive events to reconstruct the mass of the Higgs boson especially at the LHC.
متن کاملDiffractive Higgs boson production at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
Improved possibilities to find the Higgs boson in diffractive events, having less hadronic activity, depend on whether the cross section is large enough. Based on the soft color interaction models that successfully describe diffractive hard scattering at DESY HERA and the Fermilab Tevatron, we find that only a few diffractive Higgs events may be produced at the Tevatron, but we predict a substa...
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...
متن کاملDouble - diffractive processes in high - resolution missing - mass experiments at the Tevatron
We evaluate, in a model-independent way, the signal-to-background ratio for Higgs→ bb̄ detection in exclusive double-diffractive events at the Tevatron and the LHC. For the missing-mass approach to be able to identify the Higgs boson, it will be necessary to use a central jet detector and to tag b quark jets. The signal is predicted to be very small at the Tevatron, but observable at the LHC. Ho...
