Abstract:
We present a model describing recent experimental results on the reaction p+dX+dp + d \to X + d between 50 and 400 GeV/c. In the region MX2M_X^2 < 6 GeV2^2 the essential features of the data can be described by a Deck-type mechanism, while in the high-mass region (6 < MX2M_X^2 < 25 GeV2) the data can be described by a triple-Pomeron term. The triple Pomeron term is constructed with finite mass sum rules (FMSR) from elastic and Deck amplitudes. We find the Pomeron-proton total cross section is about 2 mb at large MXM_X. The calculation of shadow corrections due to diffractive dissociation are in good agreement with elastic p-d scattering data.
