Diffraction in hadron-hadron interactions

Abstract

Results on soft and hard diffraction in $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ collisions are reviewed with emphasis on factorization and scaling properties of differential cross sections. While conventional factorization breaks down at high energies, a scaling behavior emerges, which leads to a universal description of diffractive processes in terms of a (re)normalized rapidity gap probability distribution.
