2 K. Goulianos D-day 7 May 2010 CERNDiffractive x-sections and event final states at the LHC 2 Describe a phenomenology based on pre-LHC results and use it to:  make predictions for LHC  suggest measurements to confirm / modify parameters  suggest scheme to be implemented in MC simulations  propose method to measure luminosity Current MC generators: unreliable for extrapolations to LHC  MC tuning  based on multi-parameter tuning of ill-defined event topologies  Solution: use nested x-sections Contents  define diffractive x-section event topologies  nested diffractive gaps  describe in terms of proton pdf’’s and QCD color factors  normalize to guarantee unitarity  renormalization model OUTLINE

3 K. Goulianos D-day 7 May 2010 CERNDiffractive x-sections and event final states at the LHC 3 REMARKS  MC generators inadequate:  e.g. PYTHIA and PHOJET predictions of diffractive processes disagree with each other and with data.  Diffractive factorization at HERA? Breakdown observed in, e.g. Vector mesons:  vs. W, b-slopes of t-distributions Dijets: E T jet dependence, resolved vs. direct components,...  RENORM model: describes both p(pbar)-p and  p  Luminosity measurement: requires a known x-section  suggest SD – well defined and slowly varying
