I extend the two-gluon exchange picture of elastic scattering, known as the Low-Nussinov or subtractive quark model, to predict cross sections for double Pomeron exchange processes. In particular, I calculate pp¯pp¯qq¯ where the qq¯ partons will appear as jets separated from the final p and p¯ by large gaps in rapidity. The predicted cross section is large enough that this process should be observable at the Fermilab Tevatron and at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. It can be distinguished from the background of ordinary jet production by an absence of particles produced in the gap regions.
