This report presents a brief summary of the study of diffractive fragmentation in pp collisions as observed in the NAL bubble-chamber experiment. Missing mass, effective mass, and secondary particle rapidity distributions permit a) the study of the multiplicity and t dependences of the diffractive process at high energy b) the measurement of the cross section for the reaction pp → ppπ⁺π⁻, and c) and estimate of an upper limit for the double Pomeron exchange contribution to the ppπ⁺π⁻ final state at 205 GeV/c.
