BACKWARD-SCATTERING EXTRAPOLATIONS AND BARYON COUPLINGS.
Extrapolation of an asymptotic cross section to a baryon pole cannot uniquely determine the coupling constant. The only asymptotic quantities capable of doing this are the R and A parameters. The notorious discrepancy between extrapolation of dσ(πp)/du and the known Δ width is shown to be purely illusory.

Dual properties of inclusive spectra
Abstract The dual properties of the inclusive reaction π − p → pX are studied over a wide energy range by exploiting the scaling behaviour. Semi-local duality is found to be well satisfied. An energy-dependent triple-Regge analysis reveals a strong triple-pomeron coupling. There is some evidence of an abnormal component in which diffractively produced resonances are dual to pomeron exchange. Combining duality with factorization leads to relations between production cross sections of meson and baryon resonances in πp and pp collisions, which are compatible with existing experimental data.

Coherent production on nuclei does not measure total cross sections for unstable particles
We calculate diffractive production in nucleon-nucleus collisions using a parton model. We fit the result by the standard optical-model formula, and obtain estimates of 12--30 mb for the cross section of the diffractively produced system on a nucleon. The actual value of that cross section in the model is 65 mb. Estimates for the total cross section of an unstable hadron which are based on the A dependence of coherent production should therefore not be trusted.

Structure of two-body correlations in high energy hadron production
Abstract Experimental information on diffraction is used to estimate long range effects in multiparticle production. Diffractively produced secondaries are found to produce a plateau in the central region. Diffraction accounts for 30% of the observed correlations and the remainder, consistent with being short range, corresponds to a cluster size of 2.4 charged particles.

Measurement of the dijet cross section in 400-GeV/c pp interactions.
The invariant cross section for production of jet pairs in 400-GeV/c pp interactions has been measured as a function of p/sub T/ in the p/sub T/ range 4 to 9 GeV/c. The results are in good agreement with predictions of a perturbative QCD model. Details of the experiment and the procedures used to extract the jet signal are given.
