Hard colour singlet exchange at the Tevatron

Abstract: We have performed a detailed phenomenological investigation of the hard colour singlet exchange process which is observed at the Tevatron in events which have a large rapidity gap between outgoing jets. We include the effects of multiple interactions to obtain a prediction for the gap survival factor. Comparing the data on the fraction of gap events with the prediction from BFKL pomeron exchange we find agreement provided that a constant value of α s is used in the BFKL calculation. Moreover, the value of α s … Show more

“…Such effects are possible in pp scattering, where a beam remnant is present, in contrast to the electron scattering case in DDIS at HERA. A diversity of models of the absorptive corrections has developed [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33], several of which reproduce the approximate 10% 'rapidity gap survival probability' observed in single diffractive pp scattering.…”

“…Each event sample contained 15 million events. Herwig was modified for colour singlet exchange according to [4]. The Rivet [5] analysis package was used, which provides an interface between the generator event record and various analysis tools, including jet finding.…”

“…However, the JES determined by [82] assumes that the event is non•diffractive and has no rapidity gap and hence includes the effect of both a soft underlying event and pile up on the jet energy. The JES correction is therefore not valid for diffraction [83,84] and was not used. In any case, the JES will cancel in the numerator and denominator of R jj to some extent.…”
