Dijet hadroproduction with rapidity gaps and QCD double logarithmic effects

Abstract

We show that the hadroproduction of a pair of jets with large transverse energy in the central region bounded by rapidity gaps is an ideal process to see important double logarithmic QCD suppression effects. We compute the cross sections for both exclusive and inclusive double-diffractive dijet production at Tevatron and LHC energies for a range of rapidity configurations.
