Abstract: (Elsevier)
We present the results of a comprehensive analysis of inclusive pp → pX data in terms of the triple Regge formalism. We use all available data and in the theory include PPP, PPR, RRP, RRR, ππP, and ππR terms. Further we examine the importance of interference terms (e.g. PRP) and present solutions with the triple pomeron either vanishing or non-vanishing at t = 0. Predictions are made for both pp → pX and pn → pX at NAL and ISR energies. In addition, finite mass sum rules (FMSR), constructed from low-mass diffractive dissociation data, are shown to be in good agreement with the high-energy, high-mass fits. The energy, momentum transfer and moment dependence of the FMSR are discussed in detail.
