Diffractive Dijet Production at 1.96 TeV
|
|
The diffractive dijet events studied are characterized by the presence of two jets resulting
from a hard scattering and a leading antiproton, which escapes the collision intact.
Using Run II data and dedicated diffractive triggers, a measurement of the diffractive structure
function of the antiproton and a study of Double Pomeron Exchange (DPE) event candidates are presented.
The signature of a typical diffractive event in ppbar collisions is characterized by a
leading proton or anti-proton
and/or a region at large pseudorapidity with no particles, also known
as rapidity gap.
Hard diffraction processes are hadronic interactions that incorporate a high
transverse momentum partonic scattering, while carrying the characteristic
signature of a diffractive event.

The leading antiproton is scattered with a small momentum transfer and loses a fraction Xi of its initial momentum. |
