Abstract

We have studied events with a high-xF antiproton and two central jets with ET>7 GeV in CDF, in p+pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1800 GeV. From the di-jet kinematics we derive the diffractive structure function of the antiproton. We also find an excess of events with a rapidity gap at least 3.5 units wide in the proton direction, which we interpret as di-jet production in double pomeron exchange events. We find non-factorization between our single diffractive results and (a) diffraction in ep at HERA (b) double pomeron exchange.
