MotivationMotivationMotivation• Use pQCD to study a diffractive (soft) process• Hard Diffractive Photoproduction
• Hard: High ET Jets• Diffractive: Gap Between jets• Photoproduction: Q2 ~ 0

Topology of Rapidity GapsTopology of Rapidity GapsTopology of Rapidity Gaps
•Jets found using kT inclusive algorithm•Distance between jet centers: Dh•ET
Gap = Sum of ET of jets between leading and trailing jets•Gap Event: ET
Gap < ETCut
•Gap may indicate color singlet exchange

All Dijet EventsDijet Events with RapidityGap (ET
Gap < ETCut)
•Singlet• f(Dh) constant in Dh
•Non-Singlet• Particle production fluctuations Ë Gap• Non diffractive exchange• f(Dh) decreases exponentially with Dh
