Exclusive Jet Production with Forward Proton Tagging

The feasibility of measuring central exclusive jet production at ATLAS using the AFP detectors is presented. Two data-taking scenarios are considered; an average number of interactions per bunch crossing of $\mu = 23$ with integrated luminosity of 40~fb$^{-1}$ and $\mu = 46$ with integrated luminosi...

Sumario:The feasibility of measuring central exclusive jet production at ATLAS using the AFP detectors is presented. Two data-taking scenarios are considered; an average number of interactions per bunch crossing of $\mu = 23$ with integrated luminosity of 40~fb$^{-1}$ and $\mu = 46$ with integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$. After the event selection, a signal-to-background ratio of 0.57 (0.16) for $\mu = 23$ (46) was achieved. The expected precision of the central exclusive dijet cross section measurement is shown with an estimation of the dominant systematic uncertainties.
