15. Mike Albrow FermilabISMD 2008, Sept 2008Central Exclusive Production at the Tevatron 15 Exclusivity cuts Want to be sure no other particles were produced. Take 0-bias = bunch crossing data. Put in two classes: non-interaction (dominated), no tracks, no CLC hits, no muon stubs interaction (dominated), all others For each sub-detector: 5 calorimeter regions, 3 BSC counter hodoscopes Find largest signal and plot it as [Log_10 max ADC counts] We did this for each of (11) periods of data, finding cut efficient at selecting “nothing” i.e. noise thresholds. Red mini-peak is not ineffiency, mainly mini-gaps with no pile-up. 500 ADC counts

37. Mike Albrow FermilabISMD 2008, Sept 2008Central Exclusive Production at the Tevatron 37 Summary We have observed the following exclusive states X in p + X + p at the Tevatron with CDF: These are all “first observations” for hadron-hadron “elastic”. (unless you call {A,Z} a hadron) processes agree with QED predictions Photoproduction of V agree with expectations & HERA. Hence limit on odderon exchange, near theory. IP+IP  within theoretical uncertainties, and demonstrates that exclusive H should happen, if H. Furthermore, exclusive di-leptons provide a calibration of forward p – spectrometers, momentum scale and resolution
