Given the experimental precision and the multitude of processes that can be measured at the LHC, electroweak (EW) corrections become more and more relevant. This calls for the automatisation of EW corrections and in particular their…
We have studied events with a high-x_F antiproton and two central jets with E_T>7 GeV in CDF, in p+p_bar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1800 GeV. From the di-jet kinematics we derive the diffractive structure function of the antiproton. We also…
