Diffractive Production of Jets and Weak Bosons, and Tests of Hard-Scattering Factorization
We extract diffractive parton densities from diffractive, deep inelastic (DIS) ep data from the ZEUS experiment. Then we use these fits to predict the diffractive production of jets and of W's and Z's in p\bar p collisions at the Tevatron. Although the DIS data require a hard quark density...

Zusammenfassung: | We extract diffractive parton densities from diffractive, deep inelastic
(DIS) ep data from the ZEUS experiment. Then we use these fits to predict the
diffractive production of jets and of W's and Z's in p\bar p collisions at the
Tevatron. Although the DIS data require a hard quark density in the pomeron, we
find fairly low rates for the Tevatron processes (a few percent of the
inclusive cross section). This results from the combined effects of Q^{2}
evolution and of a normalization of the parton densities to the data. The
calculated rates for W production are generally consistent with the preliminary
data from the Tevatron. However, the jet data from CDF with a ``Roman pot''
trigger are substantially lower than the results of our calculations; if
confirmed, this would signal a breakdown of hard-scattering factorization. |
