Abstract

We have observed diffractive dijet production associated with a leading antiproton in the Run 1C 630 GeV data obtained with the roman-pot trigger.
Using the diffractive dijet events in the kinematic region of the momentum loss fraction of the antiproton $0.04 < \xi < 0.10$ and the four momentum transfer squared $|t| < 0.2 \mbox{GeV}^2$, we find that the cross section ratio of diffractive to non-diffractive dijet events as a function of the momentum fraction of the parton in the antiproton participating in the dijet production $x_{\Pbar}$ decreases with increasing $x_{\Pbar}$.
Comparisons are made with results obtained at $\sqrt{s}=1800$ GeV.

Abstract

During CDF Run 1C, we took roman-pot trigger data at both sqrt{s}= 630 GeV and 1800 GeV. The study of sqrt{s}=630 GeV roman-pot trigger data is described on this page. The 630 GeV roman-pot trigger data shows characteristics of single diffractive dissociation. The diffractive dijets are selected with 2nd jet $E_T$ > 7 GeV. The dijet events have low multiplicity on the antiproton(west) side, and the dijet system is boosted to the proton(east) side.
The $E_T$ spectra of leading two jets are similar to those in non-diffractive events, but slightly steeper. The mean eta of dijets is shifted away from the pot tracks and the distribution of phi difference between leading two jets is slightly narrower in diffractive events.
The fraction of pot-track events with dijets above 7 GeV is 0.16 times the fraction in minimum bias events (statistical errors about 4\%).
