The Tevatron collides protons and antiprotons at √s = 1.96 TeV at a crossing rate of 1.7 MHz
About 40% of the total pp cross-section is elastic or diffractive scattering Diffractive processes involve the exchange of a color singlet:
– Quantum numbers of the vacuum – Often referred to as Pomeron exchange
Diffractive studies used to probe nature of the Pomeron

Experimental Signature– Rapidity Gap: absence of particles or
energy above threshold in some region of rapidity in detector
– Tagged proton: p or p scattered at small angle from the beam measured in a detector far from the interaction

empty events
physics samples
Compare 'empty event' sample with physics samples:
– Empty event sample: random trigger. Veto LM signals and primary vertex, i.e. mostly empty bunch crossings– Physics samples: minimum bias (coincidence in LM), jet and Z→μμ events
Log10(cell energy sum / GeV):
10 GeV
Use energy sum to distinguish proton break-up from empty calorimeter:
Esum < 10 GeV for current study
Final value will be optimized using full data sample

Forward Proton Detector LayoutForward Proton Detector Layout
9 momentum spectrometers each composed of 2 Scintillating fiber detectors housed in (Roman Pots) can be brought close (~6 mm) to the beam.
Reconstruct scattered protons and anti-protons to calculate their momentum fraction and scattering angle– Much better resolution than available with gaps alone
Combine tracks with central high-pT scattering (main detector)
Cover a kinematic region 0 < |t| < 3 GeV2 never before explored at Tevatron energies

Detector Hit ResolutionsDetector Hit Resolutions
Starting in January 2004, all 18 detectors regularly inserted (dipoles since February 2003)
Commissioning underway on quadrupoles
Resolutions calculated by the difference of the x value of a hit calculated from u/v segments compared to the x value of the x segment show that most of the detectors are working as expected

SummarySummary
The full FPD system has been installed and is working as designed
Full commissioning studies– Detector alignment and calibration
Initial analysis using FPD data:– Dijets using dipole tags
– Z→ μμ using tags
– (elastics!)
Initial definition of a gap in the calorimeter made
Evidence of Z→ μμ with gap signature found, further work needed to finalize results and interpretation in terms of diffractive physics
