Diffraction at Tevatron and LHC in the Miettinen-Pumplin model
Abstract
The process of soft diffractive dissociation in hadronic collisions is discussed in the framework of the Miettinen-Pumplin model. A good description of the data in the ISR-Tevatron energy range is found. Predictions for the total, elastic and single diffractive cross sections for the LHC are also presented. The total cross section is expected to be 15% smaller than that given by Donnachie and Landshoff in the model with soft pomeron. The diffractive cross section remains constant in the Tevatron-LHC energy range.
