Hard color-singlet exchange in dijet events in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV

Abstract

Events where the two leading jets are separated by a pseudorapidity interval devoid of particle activity, known as jet-gap-jet events, are studied in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV. The signature is expected from hard color-singlet exchange. Each of the highest transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{T}}$) jets must have $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{jet}}$ $>$ 40 GeV and pseudorapidity 1.4 $<$ $|{\eta }^{\text{jet}}|$ $<$ 4.7, with ${\eta }^{\text{jet1}}{\eta }^{\text{jet2}}$ $<$ 0, where $\text{jet1}$ and $\text{jet2}$ are the leading and subleading jets in $p_{\mathrm{T}}$, respectively. The analysis is based on data collected by the CMS and TOTEM experiments during a low luminosity, high-${\beta }^{\ast }$ run at the CERN LHC in 2015, with an integrated luminosity of 0.66 pb${}^{-1}$. Events with a low number of charged particles with $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ $>$ 0.2 GeV in the interval $|\eta |$ $<$ 1 between the jets are observed in excess of calculations that assume only color-exchange. The fraction of events produced via color-singlet exchange, $f_{\text{CSE}}$, is measured as a function of $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{jet2}}$, the pseudorapidity difference between the two leading jets, and the azimuthal angular separation between the two leading jets. The fraction $f_{\text{CSE}}$ has values of 0.4-1.0%. The results are compared with previous measurements and with predictions from perturbative quantum chromodynamics. In addition, the first study of jet-gap-jet events detected in association with an intact proton using a subsample of events with an integrated luminosity of 0.40 pb${}^{-1}$ is presented. The intact protons are detected with the Roman pot detectors of the TOTEM experiment. The $f_{\text{CSE}}$ in this sample is 2.91 $\pm$ 0.70 (stat) ${}_{-1.01}^{+1.08}$ (syst) times larger than that for inclusive dijet production in dijets with similar kinematics.
