Description

We report the measurements of diffractive processes in proton-proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV. Diffractive events are selected by requring the presence of rapidity gaps in the CMS detector or scattered protons reconstructed in the Roman Pots of the TOTEM experiment. The data are compared to results from other experiments and to theoretical predictions.
