B. Abbott et al., PROBING HARD COLOR-SINGLET EXCHANGE IN P(P)OVER-BAR COLLISIONS AT ROOT-S = 630 GEV AND 1800 GEV, Physics letters. Section B, 440(1-2), 1998, pp. 189-202
We present results on dijet production via hard color-singlet exchange
in proton-antiproton collisions at root s = 630 GeV and 1800 GeV usin
g the D empty set detector. The fraction of dijet events produced via
color-singlet exchange is measured as a function of jet transverse ene
rgy, separation in pseudorapidity between the two highest transverse e
nergy jets, and proton-antiproton center-of-mass energy. The results a
re consistent with a color-singlet fraction that increases with an inc
reasing fraction of quark-initiated processes and inconsistent with tw
o-gluon models for the hard color-singlet. (C) 1998 Published by Elsev
