Query: Factorization and Scaling in Hadronic Diffraction   In standard Regge theory with a pomeron intercept a(0)=1+\epsilon, the
contribution of the tripe-pomeron amplitude to the t=0 differential cross
section for single diffraction dissociation has the form d\sigma/dM^2(t=0) \sim
s^{2\epsilon}/(M^2)^{1+\epsilon}. For \epsilon>0, this form, which is based on
factorization, does not scale with energy. From an analysis of p-p and p-pbar
data from fixed target to collider energies, we find that such scaling actually
holds, signaling a breakdown of factorization. Phenomenologically, this result
can be obtained from a scaling law in diffraction, which is embedded in the
hypothesis of pomeron flux renormalization introduced to unitarize the triple
pomeron amplitude.
