Abstract
The contribution of single diffraction dissociation to highp T particle production has been determined with the split field magnet detector. For transverse momentap T >2 GeV/c and production angles θ>10° it is found to be less than 5% for all types of trigger particles. Specifically, a diffractive origin of the large production cross section for highp T protons can be excluded. The contributions found to highp T production are found to be in good agreement with extrapolations of the relative particle yields from single diffraction dissociation observed in inelastic minimum bias events.
