CDF Collaboration
Studies hard and high mass diffraction as a part of the CDF QCD program. The physics goal is a better understanding of the nature of the pomeron's constituents. Detects quasielastically scattered (anti)protons with the precision track detectors (scintillating fiber hodoscopes backed up by a trigger counter), inserted in movable Roman Pots. The track measurement together with the vertex information from the CDF vertex detector can be used to select the high-mass diffractive events. The experiment is carried out in parallel with the other CDF studies, and with the participation of the full CDF Collaboration. Data analysis in progress (July 96). To learn more about the program, please contact the Spokesperson for the Hard Diffraction Group, Dr. Michael Albrow [Fermilab]
