Rapidity gaps and survival probabilities
Ongoing Projects:
Other proposed subtopics:
- Gaps vs saturation and multiple scatterings
(They are clearly related, do we have good unified decriptions?)
- Colour neutralization models
(Where do they work and why? How to model colour connections in multiple scatterings?)
- Saturation models and hadronic collisions
(Describes ep, can they be applied reliably in pp)
- Perturbative vs non-perturbative
(Is gaps in DIS really hard, how can we tell, what is the connection to gaps between jets?)
- Models for gap survival
(What models are there, how are they related, where do they work and not?)
- Final states and jets in gap vs no-gap
(Very similar in DIS, also in pp?)
- Rescattering/absorption and forward neutrons and protons
(What can we learn from connecting forward neutron production to forward proton/diffraction?)
- Gaps to get clean Higgs and BSM signals
(What models are there, how reliable are they, can we improve them, can we learn anything from HERA?)
Some of these topics will overlap with the topics of the Diffraction working group
