Abstract: (Elsevier)
A particular case of a Mueller formula describing the absence of long-range two-particle correlations is used to predict double-pomeron cross sections from available data on single-diffraction dissociation. Although success of the formula in this application would immediately verify the double-pomeron hypothesis, the converse is not true because the formula may be invalidated by prominent low-energy resonances (such as the f 0 ) in the pomeron-pomeron total cross section. Low-statistics experiments at s = 200 and 400 GeV 2 are in order of magnitude agreement with the formula.References(7)
