Introduction

Shaded Area :Region of Particle

Production


Main Issue in Hadronic Diffraction :results from single diffractive (SD) dijet production

The diffractive structure function measured using SD dijet events at the Tevatron is smaller than that at HERA by approximately an order of magnitude.

The discrepancy is generally attributed to additional color exchanges which spoil the “diffractive” rapidity gap.

Dijet Production in DPE

Dijet production by double pomeron exchange was studied by CDF.

R[DPE/SD] is larger than R[SD/ND] by a factor of about 5.

CDF Collaboration, Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4215-4220 (2000).

The formation of the 2ndgap is not as suppressed

as the 1st gap.

Extract diffractive structure function fromR[DPE/SD] and compare it with expectations from HERA results.


Diffractive Structure Functionmeasured using DPE dijet events

The measured SD cross section is smaller than the Regge theory prediction by approximately an order of magnitude at the Tevatron energy.

Normalizing the integral of the pomeron flux (fIP/p) to unity yields the correct √s-dependence of σSD.

Is the formation of the second gap suppressed?

Analysis Strategy Use events triggered on a leading

antiproton.

ξpbar is measured by Roman Pots : ξpbar

RPS.

Measure ξp (ξpbar) from BBC and calorimeters : ξp

X (ξpbarX).

Calibrate ξX by comparing ξpbarRPS

and ξpbarX.

Plot ξpX distribution and look for a

DPE signal expected in the small ξp

X region.


Reconstruction of ξpX

Calorimeters : use ET and η of towers above noise level.

BBC : use hits in BBC scintillation arrays. pT is chosen to follow the

“known” pT spectrum :

ξX = ξRPS.)


ξpX Distribution

The input ξp distribution in DPE MC is 1/ξp

1+ε (ε = 0.104 is obtained from p±p/π±p/K±p total cross sections).

The DPE and SD MC distributions are independently normalized to the data distribution.

The measured ξpX

distribution is in agreement with the DPE+SD MC distribution.

Conclusions The measured ξp

X distribution exhibits ~1/ξ1+ε behavior (ε = 0.104).

The measured DPE fraction in SD is :

for 0.035 <ξpbar< 0.095 and ξp< 0.02 at √s = 1800 GeV.

in agreement with the renormalized gap prediction.

In events with a rapidity gap,the formation of a second gap is

“unsuppressed”!
