Diffraction in CDF: Run I results and plans for Run II

TL;DR

This paper reviews CDF's diffraction results from Fermilab's Run I, reports new findings on soft double diffraction and diffractive J/psi production, and outlines plans for future diffractive studies in Run II.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive review of Run I diffraction results and introduces new measurements, along with future experimental plans for Run II.

Findings

New results on soft double diffraction

First measurements of diffractive J/psi production

Summary of diffraction study plans for Run II

Abstract

Results on diffraction obtained by the CDF Collaboration in Run I of the Fermilab Tevatron $\bar pp$ collider are reviewed. New results are reported on soft double diffraction and diffractive $J/\psi$ production. The CDF program for diffractive studies in Run II is briefly discussed.
