Diffractive dissociation of hadrons into states with a large mass
The mass dependence of the cross section for diffractive dissociation, which corresponds to a three-pomeron contribution, is determined by using the eigenstate method. The diffraction cross section is proportional to the derivative of the velocity of light of the active parton component of the constituent quark. The diffraction cross section is expected to decrease sharply at large energies, as compared with the prediction of Feynman scaling, consistent with the data obtained in cosmic-ray experiments.
