Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of single diffraction dissociation data on p(p¯)+pp(p¯)+X from fixed target to collider energies reveals a striking breakdown of factorization, which does not affect the shape of the MX2 dependence of the differential cross sections. Phenomenologically, this result can be obtained by postulating a scaling law for hadronic diffraction, which is embedded in the hypothesis of Pomeron flux renormalization introduced to unitarize the triple-Pomeron amplitude.
