| Abstract |
We measure the fraction of events with a W or Z boson which are produced
diffractively at CDF using the Roman-pot detectors
with the goal of determining the diffractive structure function.
The ratio of diffractive to non-diffractive W/Z production in the region of
momentum fraction 0.03 < xi < 0.10 and 4-momentum transfer squared |t| < 1 is found to be
RW = [0.97 ± 0.05(stat) ± 0.11(syst)]% and
RZ = [0.85 ± 0.20(stat) ± 0.11(syst)]%.
