Double Pomeron Opportunities at SQRT(s) = 1.8 Tev
Jon Pumplin
Abstract
I describe possible ways to discover hard double pomeron exchange (HDPE) with the existing detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron, by using the small-angle ``luminosity'' counters as a veto. Estimates of the cross sections and backgrounds are made. In addition to the intrinsic importance of HDPE, its observation would be useful for calibrating the detectors, and for estimating the ``survival probability'' of rapidity gaps.
