Title: Maximum-rapidity-gap distribution at high energies

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

The experimental maximum-rapidity-gap distributions in 50-GeV ..pi../sup -/-N and 67- and 400-GeV p-N interactions have been examined in the light of the model of Jones and Snider. The number of events due to diffractive dissociation (Pomeron exchange) at 67 GeV is estimated to be 9% and with increasing shower-particle multiplicity (n/sub s/), the number of such events appears to fall sharply.
