Abstract

The single diffraction dissociation duality-based model is studied at low missing masses in the light of new experimental data. The distinguishing feature of the model is the nonlinear Regge proton trajectory used to account for the resonances contributions to the cross-sections. It helps to classify and understand the spectrum of excited states of a proton and their decays, providing insights into the internal structure and dynamics of particles. The behavior of the differential cross-section in the resonance region at small missing masses Mx is investigated. All other resonances that are not taken into account are modeled using the constant background contribution. The possibility and correctness of such a choice is discussed. The model parameters are refined in the light of new experimental data.
