Diffraction in hadron scattering
b bElastic
b YDouble Dissociation
Diffraction is a feature of hadron-hadron interactions (30% of tot):
o) Beam particles emerge intact or dissociated into low-mass states. Energy beam energy (within a few %)
o) Interaction mediated by t-channel exchange of object with vacuum quantum numbers (no colour): the Pomeron (IP)
o) Final-state particles separated by large polar angle (or pseudorapidity, ln tan(/2)): Large Rapidity Gap (LRG)

Pomeron goes back to the ‘60s: Regge trajectory, ie a moving pole in complex angular momentum plane. Would like to understand diffraction in terms of quarks, gluons and QCD (need a hard process)
A worthwhile task:
•Diffraction is a significant part of tot
•Elastic cross section drives tot via optical theorem: del/dt|t=0tot)2
•Understanding diffraction in terms of QCD offers new insight into QCD itself
In the last 5-10 years, we learned a lot about diffraction by scattering pointlike probes (electrons) on Pomeron – the same technique used for studying the structure of the proton now clear that diffraction has a well deserved place in QCD
NB in following will often refer to Pomeron as if it were real particle (it isn’t)
Pomeron ?!

(Diffractive) hard scattering factorisation
universal partonic cross section
fi/pD(z,Q2,xIP,t): probability to find, with probe of resolution Q2, in a
proton, parton i with momentum fraction z, under the condition that proton remains intact, and emerges with small energy loss, xIP, and momentum transfer t – diffractive PDFs are a feature of the proton
A new type of PDFs, with same dignity as standard PDFs. Applies
when vacuum quantum numbers are exchanged
Diffractive DIS, like inclusive DIS, is factorisable [Collins (1998);
Trentadue, Veneziano (1994); Berera, Soper (1996)…]:
diffractive parton distribution functions: evolve according to DGLAP
Rather than IP exchange: probe diffractive PDFs of proton

• Understanding of breaking encouraging – lots of different approaches investigated:
o) Bjorken (1993) o) Gotsman, Levin, Maor (1993) o) Goulianos (1995) o) Buchmueller, Gehrmann, Hebecker (1997) o) Cox, Forshaw, Loennblad (1999) o) Enberg, Ingelman, Timneanu (2000) o) Erhan, Schlein (2000) o) Bialas, Peschanski (2002) o) [list is incomplete]
• If this works, can use at Tevatron the diffractive PDFs from HERA, and vice versa – ie diffractive PDFs truly universal

Summary I
• We have measured the partonic content of the exchange responsible for elastic and diffractive interactions – mainly gluons [ie we think we know what a Pomeron is]
• This has led to a new kind of PDFs which apply to the class of QCD events where vacuum quantum numbers
are exchanged: diffractive PDFs
• Rather than consider diffraction as due to the exchange of IP exchange of partonsbelonging to the proton
• Hard scattering factorisation of diffractive PDFs works in DIS. We are on the way to understanding the large breaking of factorisation observed in ep vs pp

• How safe is a QCD analysis of F2D ? Whole range ok?
• Relevance of assuming F2D(4) fIP (xIP,t) F2
IP (,Q2) ?
• Map the size of factorisation breaking as a function of as many variables as possible – input from Tevatron essential • Understand rescattering corrections in terms of QCD
