  1. Diffractive Results from Brian Cox Workshop on low x physics, Antwerp 2002 • Diffractive W and Z • Observation of double diffractive dijets • Run 1 highlights • Run II Beginnings E  

  2. Diffraction in the DØdetector L0 Detector nL0 = # hit tiles in L0 detector ncal = # cal towers with energy above threshold beam Central Calorimeter End Calorimeter EM Calorimeter Energy Threshold  coverage EM Calorimeter 150 MeV 2.0<||<4.1 Had Calorimeter 500 MeV 3.2<||<5.2 Hadronic Calorimeter

  3. Diffractive W and Z production Central and Forward electron W Event and Z event selections: Start with Run1b W en and Z ee candidate samples DØ Preliminary

  4. Diffractive selection • Measure forward calorimeter tower multiplicities in range3.0<|h|<5.2 • Look at minimum multiplicity side of detector (not necessarily opposite side to electron)

  5. Central W Multiplicity Minimum side   -1.1 0 1.1 3.0 5.2 nL0 L0 ncal ncal Peak at (0,0) is diffractive W-boson Signal: 68 of 8724 events in (0,0) bin DØ Preliminary

  6. Forward W multiplicity Minimum side   -2.5 -1.1 0 1.1 3.0 5.2 nL0 ncal L0 Peak at (0,0) indicates forward diffractive W-boson in forward electron sample: 23 of 3898 events in (0,0) bin DØ Preliminary

  8. Z multiplicity Minimum side   -2.5 -1.1 0 1.1 3.0 5.2 L0 ncal Peak at (0,0) indicates diffractive Z-boson: 9 of 811 events in (0,0) bin DØ Preliminary

  9. Extracting the Signal • 2-D fits of multiplicity plots Fit Data Fit Background Fit Signal

  10. Use high statistics background Solid line: Central W Dashed: Cen+Fwd W ncal Solid line: Central W Dashed: Cen+Fwd W ncal DØ Preliminary Background shapes agree, but fit more reliable with higher stats

  18. The Run II Pots • 8 detectors fully installed (D1, D2, A1I, A2I, P1U, P1D, P2D) • All will be in place after October shutdown

  19. Acceptance of quadrupole pots

  20. Data distributions Elasticx distribution peaks at 0 DØ not Preliminary at all really

  21. Highlights • Two new Run I analyses due for publication : • Diffractive W (+ jets) and Z • Double Diffractive Dijets • We’re all looking forward to Run II analysis ! • Detectors working fine • First physics in December / January
