Diffraction dissociation into high masses at N.A.L.-I.S.R. energies

The triple-pomeron picture of diffraction dissociation into high masses, combined with recent observations about the dominance of short-range correlations in multiparticle production at very high energies, implies that the cross section for diffractive dissociation into high masses rises approximately logarithmically in the NAL-ISR energy range. Predictions are also made about the multiplicity distribution of diffractively-produced particles.
