Description
It is suggested that the dominant contribution to the observed increase in the γp cross section of 2 to 6 μb over the expectations of vector-meson dominance arises from the production of high-transverse-momentum jets and not charm as has been widely interpreted. The cross section for the production of three jets, one along the collision axis and two with high p/sub t/, satisfactorily accounts for the deviation from rho, ω, phi contributions. The charm component is found to be only a small fraction of the observed increase
