Abstract

Single diffraction dissociation was measured in the reaction pp→pX at the centre-of-mass energy s=546 GeV. The mass M of the system X was deduced from the pseudorapidity distribution of the observed charged tracks. The cross section of single diffraction dissociation for M2/s≤0.05 isσsd=9.4±0.7 mb. Comparison to the ISR data shows that σsd increases with energy less fast than the total and the elastic cross sections.
