Description
Diffractive physics program for the ATLAS experiment is discussed with emphasis
on the Central Exclusive production. While making up a large part of the total
proton-proton cross section, the experimental definition of diffractive
processes is still under discussion. At low luminosities,
a L1 trigger based on requiring rapidity gaps can be used, while at high
luminosities, the use of proton taggers proposed to be placed at 220 m and 420 m
from the interaction point is foreseen. Some first ATLAS results with candidates
of diffractive events are presented and an outlook of other possible diffractive
measurements is discussed.
