Summary

Felix Reidt for the ALICE Collaboration

In this analysis ALICE detectors covering the pseudorapidity region −3.7 < eta < 5.1,
were used to identify central diffractive events through a double-pseudorapidity-gap topol-
ogy. Central diffraction is characterized experimentally by two pseudorapidity gaps accom-
panied by hadronic activity in the central pseudorapidity region between the gaps. This talk
will summarize the latest results on properties of double-gap events with different gap sizes.
