Diffraction dissociation in proton-proton collisions at ISR energies

1982 
Abstract Data are presented on the reaction pp → pX in the range of four-momentum transfer squared 0.04 t 2 and of c.m. energy squared 550 s 2 . Invariant cross sections are given as a function of M 2 / s , where M is the mass of the missing system X, and of t . The cross sections are shown to scale in the variable M 2 / s , for M 2 / s > 0.01. The total diffractive cross section integrated over t and M 2 / s up to M 2 / s =0.05 rises by approximately 15% from σ dif =6.5±0.2 mb at 550 GeV 2 to σ dif =7.5±0.3 mb at 3880 GeV 2 .
