Inclusive DPE (double pomeron exchange) production of t¯ pairs was studied for CMS high luminosity running (2 x 1033cm-2s-1 ), with one top decaying into a b-jet, a muon and a neutrino, and the other to jets, one of them a b-jet (b¯bq¯qμ¯νμ). The process was simulated with the generator DPEMC v2.4 [12], together with the fast CMS simulation code FAMOS [41], version 1.4.0. Two theoretical models were used for this analysis, that of Cox & Forshaw [10], [11] and of Boonekamp, Peschanski and Royon [13], [14]. As dominant background, we have the overlap of a non-diffractive t¯t event with pile-up events (7 in average) in the same bunch crossing. Since we use Roman Pots to tag the diffractive event, uncorrelated diffractive pile-up events generating very forward diffractive protons can fake the non-diffractive event as a diffractive one. For an integrated luminosity of 10 fb-1 we obtain a number of events of O (100) for this background, while (1) to O (100) for the diffractive signal, depending on the theoretical model used.
