Measurements of Diffractive Processes at CDF

TL;DR

This paper reviews CDF measurements of diffractive processes at the Fermilab Tevatron, including both hard and soft diffractive events, highlighting experimental results from Run I data.

Contribution

It provides the first comprehensive review of diffractive process measurements at CDF, including preliminary results on soft diffraction with a leading antiproton and rapidity gap.

Findings

Measurements of hard diffractive processes at CDF

Preliminary results on soft diffractive processes with rapidity gaps

Data collected from Fermilab Tevatron Run I

Abstract

We review the results of measurements on hard diffractive processes performed by the CDF Collaboration and report preliminary CDF results on two soft diffractive processes with a leading antiproton and a rapidity gap in addition to that associated with the antiproton. All results have been obtained from data collected in Run I of the Fermilab Tevatron $\bar pp$ collider.
