Abstract

Using a model based on two elements: the Good-Walker mechanism for low mass diffraction and multi-pomeron interactions for high mass diffraction, we obtain an excellent description of all aspects of soft scattering at high energy. The parameters of the model are determined by a fit to experimental data, giving the slope of the pomeron to be ( αp≈0.01 GeV -2 We calculate the survival probability of diffractive Riggs production, and obtain a value for this observable, which is smaller than 100 for the LRC energy range.
