Higgs or dijet production in double rapidity gap events

Abstract

We quantify the rate of double diffractive Higgs/dijet production at $pp$ (or $p\bar{p}$) colliders. The suppression due to QCD bremsstrahlung is calculated perturbatively up to single $\log$ accuracy. The survival probability of the rapidity gaps is discussed. A first comparison with experiment is made.
