Production of gluon jets in pp collisions by double pomeron exchange in the Landshoff-Nachtmann model

Abstract

Using the Landshoff-Nachtmann two-gluon exchange model of the pomeron, the double pomeron exchange contribution to production of gluon pairs in the central region of rapidity is calculated. The results are compared with those for production of quark-antiquark pairs.
