Rapidity spectra in proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering up to 540 GeV in a dual parton model

Some recent data at the ISR and SPS colliders are discussed in terms of a multi-pomeron exchange model formulated in the dual parton framework. Charged particle rapidity distributions, energy dependence of the central plateau, ratio of particle densities in proton-proton and antiproton-proton scattering and non-diffractive multiplicities are successfully accounted for in the model.
