Central pseudorapidity gaps in events with a leading antiproton at the Fermilab tevatron pp collider
(2003)The results from a similar measurement performed in a subsample of pp events containing a leading (high longitudinal momentum) antiproton. As such, large pseudorapidity gaps are presumed to be due to Pomeron exchanges and ...
