Abstract

Proton diffraction dissociation was studied at the ISR with a double-arm magnetic spectrometer close to the forward directions of the two ISR beams. Events with a single charged particle in one spectrometer and a jet in the opposite direction were found to be predominantly diffraction dissociation. In these events a positive correlation was observed between the mass and decay multiplicity of the fireball. The shape of the diffractive mass spectrum and its consistency with triple pomeron coupling were investigated at s = 31 GeV, 45 GeV and 53.4 GeV.
