First Atempt to Apply Techniques from LEP Experiments to Help Selecting Diffractive Events
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hard Diffraction has been subject of studies for more than 10 years and its event selection has been heavyly based on rapidity gaps because of the colorless nature of the pomeron but soft gluon emission tends to destroy the gaps lowering the efficiency to identify those events. We present here a first attempt to use techniques developed at DELPHI, one of the 4 experiments at LEP, to select diffractive events in Dzero experiment, at Tevatron. All results presented here are very preliminary.

Towards a Combined HERA Diffractive Deep Inelastic Scattering Measurement
Abstract The diffractive dissociation of virtual photons, γp → Xp, has been studied with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA using various complementary techniques. Events have been selected by direct tagging of the outgoing proton or by requiring a large rapidity gap between the proton and the system X. The diffractive contribution has also been unfolded by decomposition of the inclusive hadroni...
متن کاملRecent Low x and Diffractive Collider Data
Selected recent data from collider experiments pertaining to the understanding of QCD at low Bjorken-x are reviewed. The status of QCD and Regge factorisation in hard diffractive interactions is discussed in terms of data from HERA and the Tevatron. The possibility of anomalous behaviour in the γγ total cross section is confronted with the most recent measurements from LEP. Data from all three ...
متن کاملObservation of Diffractive W - Boson Production at the Tevatron CDF
We report the first observation of diffractively produced W bosons. In a sample of W → eν events produced in p¯ p collisions at √ s=1.8 TeV, we find an excess of events with a forward rapidity gap, which is attributed to diffraction. The probability that this excess is consistent with non-diffractive production is 1.1 × 10 −4 (3.8σ). The relatively low fraction of W + Jet events observed within...
متن کاملBose-Einstein correlations in WW events at LEP
The current status of the LEP results on Bose-Einstein correlations is discussed. Emphasis is given to the measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations between decay products from different W’s, in an energy range between 172 and 209 GeV, dependent on the experiment. For the first time all four LEP experiments conclude that no evidence for correlations between pions from different W’s is seen at t...
متن کاملRecent Results from LEP and Comparisons with Υ(4S) Experiments
Semileptonic (s.l.) B decays represent a favorable laboratory to study the dynamics of heavy quark decays, to determine the size of the |Vub| and |Vcb| CKM mixing matrix elements, crucial in the unitarity triangle test of the Standard Model, and to acquire informations on the structure of the B meson itself. The Aleph, Delphi, L3 and Opal experiments have analyzed together about 1.5 M s.l. B de...
