Title: Threshold Effects of Diffractive Production

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

In a quite general Feynmam-diagram model, diffractively produced inelastic states at high emergies lead to a decrease in the total cross section below and above the threshold for the process. Nondiffractive channels produce the opposite effect. Asymptotically this agrees with the eikonal approach and the Gribov Reggeon calculus. Thus one can understand the broad dip in the pp total cross section at intermediate energies and, if the triple Pomeron descouples, the resultant intersecting-storage-rings rise.
