Hard diffraction in lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions

Abstract

It is argued that the breakdown of factorization observed recently in the diffractive dijet production in deep inelastic lepton induced and hadron induced processes is naturally explained in the Good-Walker picture of diffraction dissociation. The explicit formula for the hadronic cross-section is given and successfully compared with the existing data.
