The reaction pp → pX was studied as a function of the mass M of the system X at the centre-of-mass energy s = 546 GeV in the kinematical region where diffraction dissociation dominates. The pseudorapidity distribution of charged tracks, produced in the fragmentation of the system X, is well described within the limits of cylindrical phase space. The fragments of the X-system behave very similarly to the products of non-diffractive inelastic collisions at s = M.

Abstract
The reaction pp → pX was studied as a function of the mass M of the system X at the centre-of-mass energy s = 546 GeV in the kinematical region where diffraction dissociation dominates. The pseudorapidity distribution of charged tracks, produced in the fragmentation of the system X, is well described within the limits of cylindrical phase space. The fragments of the X-system behave very similarly to the products of non-diffractive inelastic collisions at s = M.
