| Abstract | The properties of the diffractive peak observed in the mass spectra of systems recoiling against observed high-momentum protons emerging from pp collisions at the CERN ISR have been investigated. The cross sections in this peak have been found to have a steep t dependence which flattens out as mod t mod increases. The high mass side of the peak varies approximately as 1/M/sup 2/ (where M is the missing mass of the recoiling system) and scales well in terms of the variable M /sup 2//s. The position of the maximum has been observed to move to lower values of M/sup 2//s as the kinematic boundary of this variable decreases with increasing s. The measured cross sections, integrated up to M/sup 2//s=0.05, rise by (15+or-5)% over the s range 549 to 1464 GeV/sup 2/. (24 refs). |
