Abstract
We estimate the amount of diffractive single and double dissociation in proton-proton scattering at 24 GeV/c in the context of the factorizable diffraction excitation model. We find that a realistic estimate for the maximal diffractive contribution is 1/3 of the total inelastic cross-section. The study of inclusive pion spectra shows that the possible early scaling cannot be attributed to production through diffractive excitations in any region of the phase space.
