Dijets with 2,1 or 0 rapidity gap: Factorization breaking at the Tevatron

Abstract

Central production cross-sections of hard dijets with 2,1 or 0 rapidity gap at Tevatron are analyzed in terms of diffractive (``a la Good-Walker'') and non diffractive fluctuations of the incident particles. The observed large factorization breaking and the unexpected high value of the 2 to 1 gap cross-section ratio are explained in terms of scattering with and between the incident particles.
