Abstract:

Double diffraction differential cross sections in pp collisions at √s = 1800 and 630 GeV were measured. Results were compared with data at √s = 200 and 900 GeV and with predictions based on Regge theory and factorization. A factorization breakdown comparable in magnitude to that observed in single diffraction dissociation was found. The data are in agreement with the renormalized gap probability model.

Abstract:

An overview is given on the measurements of dσ/dM and improvement of the existing measurements of AFB. All the measurements have been taken by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). The measurements of e+e- pairs with invariant masses between 40 and 500 eV/c2 complement measurements in e+e- machines, that currently extend to 200 GeV/c2.

Abstract:

Three-jet production in the reaction ep → eXp has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 42.74 pb-1.The data were measured in the kinematic region 5 < Q2 < 100 GeV2, 200 < W < 250 GeV and 23 < MX < 40 GeV. The diffractive signal was selected by requiring a large rapidity gap in the outgoing proton direction. Jets were reconstructed in the centre-of-mass system of X using the exclusive kT-algorithm. A sample of three-jet events in diffraction has been identified. Differential cross sections were measured as a function of the jet pseudorapidity and jet transverse momentum with respect to the virtual photon-pomeron axis. The jets going in the pomeron direction are broader than those going in the virtual-photon direction. This is consistent with models predicting that gluons are predominantly produced in the pomeron direction and quarks in the virtual-photon direction. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
