Abstract
We present here potential measurements at the LHC that can constrain the Pomeron, a colorless object which is exchanged during hard diffractive events in proton-proton collisions. So far, the Pomeron structure in terms of quarks and gluons has been extracted from QCD fits using HERA and Tevatron data. The LHC allows us to probe its structure in a completely new kinematical domain. The measurements which are discussed in this report use double Pomeron exchange (DPE) dijet and photon-jet final state processes, in which both protons escape the collision intact. Proton tagging is assumed and event generation is performed using the Forward Physics Monte Carlo (FPMC), a generator that has been designed to study forward physics, especially at the LHC.
