Double diffraction dissociation at high t

Diffractive scattering in the presence of a large momentum transfer is an ideal place to study the short distance rapidity gap producing mechanism. Previous studies (experimental and theoretical) in this area have focussed on gaps between jets and on high-t vector meson production. We propose the measurement of double dissociation at high-t. We examine the numerous advantages to studying this more inclusive process and conclude that it is an ideal place to study short distance diffraction.
