Probing hard diffraction with CMS

The cross section for dijet production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$~TeV is presented as a function of $\tilde{\xi}$, a variable that approximates the fractional momentum loss of the scattered proton in single-diffractive events. The observation of $W$ and $Z$ boson production with a pseudo-rap...

Sumario:The cross section for dijet production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$~TeV is presented as a function of $\tilde{\xi}$, a variable that approximates the fractional momentum loss of the scattered proton in single-diffractive events. The observation of $W$ and $Z$ boson production with a pseudo-rapidity gap in the final state is also presented.
