Abstract

A prescription for parametrizing πp reactions is given. As a first step towards a correct model, only pion dissociation is considered. Therefore, a reaction with an even number of pions is assumed to be totally nondiffractive, while one with an odd number of pions has, in addition, a diffractive part. Using the prescription we predict the energy dependence of various exclusive reactions. The agreement with data is found to be fairly good. The non-diffractive component dominates the inelastic reactions at intermediate energies.
