  1. Soft and Hard Diffraction Konstantin Goulianos The Rockefeller University Small x and Diffraction 2003 17-20 September 2003, FERMILAB K. Goulianos, Small x and Diffraction, Fermilab

  2. Contents SOFT DIFFRACTION • M2-scaling • Triple-pomeron coupling  relate to color factors • Derive full differential cross section from parton model • Multi-gap diffraction HARD DIFFRACTION • Diffractive structure function  derive from proton PDFs • b and x dependence • Regge and QCD factorization • HERA versus TEVATRON • Normalization • b dependence K. Goulianos, Small x and Diffraction, Fermilab

  3. Classical Picture of Diffraction X Elastic Scattering and Diffraction Dissociation Diffraction dissociation coherence KG, Phys. Rep. 101 (1983) 171 K. Goulianos, Small x and Diffraction, Fermilab

  4. Non-diffractive interactions: Diffractive interactions: Diffraction and Rapidity Gaps • rapidity gaps are regions of pseudorapidity devoid of particles Rapidity gaps are formed by multiplicity fluctuations. Rapidity gaps are due to absence of radiation in “vacuum exchange” From Poisson statistics: (r=particle density in rapidity space) Gaps are exponentially suppressed • large rapidity gaps are signatures for diffraction K. Goulianos, Small x and Diffraction, Fermilab

  5. ? The Pomeron in QCD • Quark/gluon exchange across a rapidity gap: POMERON • No particles radiated in the gap: the exchange is COLOR-SINGLETwith quantum numbers of vacuum • Rapidity gap formation: NON-PERTURBATIVE • Diffraction probes the large distance aspects of QCD: POMERON CONFINEMENT • PARTONIC STRUCTURE • FACTORIZATION K. Goulianos, Small x and Diffraction, Fermilab

  6. Diffraction at CDF in Run I PRD 50 (1994) 5518 • Elastic scattering • Total cross section • Diffraction PRD 50 (1994) 5550 SOFT diffraction Control sample PRD PRL PRL PRL 50 (1994) 5535 87 (2001)141802 to be sub’d 91(2003)011802 HARD diffraction PRL reference with roman pots K.
