Abstract

The relative yield of high transverse momentum protons measured inpp interctions at the CERN ISR is calculated in the framework of simple parton models. Whereas models based exclusively on quark and gluon scattering fail to describe the data, the hypothesis of diquark scattering provides a quantitative understanding of the measured dependences on transverse momentum, polar angle, and centre-of-mass energy. Different assumptions on diquark structure functions are tested.
