UNITARIZED MODEL OF HADRONIC DIFFRACTIVE DISSOCIATION

It is shown that in a supercritical Pomeron model the contribution of the triple-Pomeron diagrams violates the unitarity bound for the cross section even when taking into account the multiple Pomeron exchanges between the initial hadrons. The asymptotic behavior of the single dif fractive dissociation cross section is calculated in the approximation where every Pomeron in the 3P diagram is eikonalized as well as an el astic interaction of initial hadrons is taken into account. In this ap proximation sigma(SD)/sigma(tot)-->0, at s-->infinity.
