Abstract

The single diffractive component in hadronhadron interactions is studied in the two-component Dual Parton Model. We distinguish high mass single diffraction represented by a triple-Pomeron exchange and low mass single diffraction described via a two channel eikonal method. The calculated single diffractive cross sections, and the distributions agree quite well with data from collider and fixed target experiments. The fit of the model parameters to cross section data gives a extrapolation of the total, elastic, and single diffractive cross sections to supercollider energies which depends on the parton structure functions used for the minijet component.
