Phys. Rev. D 59, 114017 (1999) [13 pages]Factorization and scaling in hadronic diffractionReceived 16 October 1998; published 6 May 1999 A comprehensive analysis of single diffraction dissociation data on p(p̅ )+p⃗p(p̅ )+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. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
