Modeled by Regge TheoryAnalysis of poles in the complex angular momentum plane give rise to trajectories that describe particle exchange

Non-perturbative QCD
Ingelman-SchleinPropose Hard Diffraction possibility in 1985Factorization allows us to look at the diffractive reaction as atwo step process. Hadron A emits a Pomeron (pomeron flux) then partons in the Pomeron interact with hadron B in a standard QCD gg hard scattering. (basis of POMPYT, POMWIG MC’s)The Pomeron to leading order is proposed to have a minimal structure of two gluons in order to have quantum numbers of the vacuum A

Hard Diffraction exists! Pomeron has a “super-hard” component.

IPdPDF
1) Diffractive PDFs: probability to find a parton of given x in the proton under condition that proton stays intact –sensitive to low-x partons in proton, complementary to standard PDFs(ingredient for all inclusive diffractiveprocesses at Tevatron and LHC)
Two fundamental physics quantities can be accessed in diffractive DIS: dPDFs and GPDs
Rather than IP exchange: probe diffractive PDFs of proton
2) Generalised Parton Distributions (GPD)quantify correlations between parton momenta in the proton; t-dependencesensitive to parton distribution in transverse plane
• When x’=x, GPDs are proportional to the square of the usual PDFs(ingredient for all exclusive diffractive processes)

GPDs and diffractive PDFs measured at HERA cannot be used blindly in pp (or ) interactions.
In addition to the hard diffractive scattering, there are soft interactions among spectator partons. They fill the rapidity gap and reduce the rate of diffractive events.
•Pioneered central gaps between jets: Color-Singlet fractions at √s = 630 & 1800 GeV; Color-Singlet Dependence on ∆η, ET, √s (parton-x). PRL 72, 2332(1994); PRL 76, 734 (1996);PLB 440, 189 (1998)
•Observed forward gaps in jet events at √s = 630 & 1800 GeV. Rates much smaller than expected from naïve Ingelman-Schlein model. Require a different normalization and significant soft component to describe data. Large fraction of proton momentum frequently involved in collision.PLB 531, 52 (2002)
•Observed W and Z boson events with gaps: measured fractions, properties first observation of diffractive Z. PLB 574, 169 (2003)
• Observed jet events with forward/backward gaps at √s = 630 and 1800 GeV
