“…D0 studied both diffractive W and Z production in Run I and found a diffractive fraction, uncorrected for gap survival, of 0.89 +0. 19 −0.17 % for W s and 1.44 +0.61 −0.52 % for Zs [12]. However, the gap survival estimated by D0 using Monte Carlo simulations was (21 ± 4)%, which would yield W and Z fractions approximately four times larger than those of CDF.…”

“…For the value of σ inel at √ s = 1.96 TeV we use 59.3 ± 2.3 mb, obtained by extrapolation from the CDF measurements of the elastic and total cross sections at √ s = 1.8 TeV [18,19]. The fraction of W and Z events from a single interaction is determined independently for each one of three datasets comprising our event sample, collected at different average instantaneous luminosities.…”

We report on a measurement of the fraction of events with a W or Z boson which are produced diffractively inpp collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV, using data from 0.6 fb −1 of integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector equipped with a Roman-pot spectrometer that detects thep from p + p →p + [X + W/Z]. We find that (1.00 ± 0.11)% of W s and (0.88 ± 0.22)% of Zs are produced diffractively in a region of antiproton or proton fractional momentum loss ξ of 0.03 < ξ < 0.10 and 4-momentum transferred squared t of −1 < t < 0 (GeV/c) 2 , where we account for the events in which the proton scatters diffractively while the antiproton dissociates,p + p → [X + W/Z] + p, by doubling the measured proton dissociation fraction. We also report on searches for W and Z production in double Pomeron exchange, p +p → p + [X + W/Z] +p, and on exclusive Z production, p + p →p + Z + p. No signal is seen above background for these processes, and comparisons are made with expectations.

We report the first observation of dijet events with a double Pomeron exchange topology produced in pp collisions at s√=1800GeV. The events are characterized by a leading antiproton, two jets in the central pseudorapidity region, and a large rapidity gap on the outgoing proton side. We present results on jet kinematics and production rates, compare them with corresponding results from single diffractive and inclusive dijet production, and test factorization

“…Introduction.-The measurements at the ISR [1][2][3] (for proton-proton), at the S ppS [4] collider, and at the TEVATRON [5,6] (for proton-antiproton) have provided a clear evidence of the rise of the total cross section with energy. The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with its energy reach up to 14 TeV and an unprecedented dedicated forward-detector system operated by the TOTEM collaboration provides the unique opportunity to precisely determine tot at various energies and thus the functional form of the rise with energy.…”

The TOTEM collaboration has measured the proton-proton total cross section at ffiffi ffi s p ¼ 8 TeV using a luminosity-independent method. In LHC fills with dedicated beam optics, the Roman pots have been inserted very close to the beam allowing the detection of $90% of the nuclear elastic scattering events. Simultaneously the inelastic scattering rate has been measured by the T1 and T2 telescopes. By applying the optical theorem, the total proton-proton cross section of ð101:7 AE 2:9Þ mb has been determined, well in agreement with the extrapolation from lower energies. This method also allows one to derive the luminosity-independent elastic and inelastic cross sections: el ¼ ð27:1 AE 1:4Þ mb; inel ¼ ð74:7 AE 1:7Þ mb.
