Abstract

Results from a phenomenological analysis of W and Z hard diffractive hadroproduction at high energies are reported. Using the Regge factorization approach, we consider the recent diffractive parton density functions extracted by the H1 Collaboration at DESY-HERA. In addition, we take into account multiple Pomeron exchange corrections considering a gap survival probability factor. It is find that the ratio of diffractive to non-diffractive boson production is in good agreement with the CDF and D0 data. We make predictions which could be compared to future measurements at the LHC.
