Description
The cross section for the nuclear diffractive dissociation in proton-lead collisions at the LHC is estimated. Based on the current theoretical uncertainties for the single (target) diffactive cross section in hadron-hadron reactions one obtains σpA→pXSD (√(s) = 5.02 TeV) = 19.67 ± 5.41 mb and σpA→pXSD (√(s) = 8.8 TeV) = 18.76 ± 5.77 mb, respectively. The invariant mass MX for the reaction pPb → pX is also analyzed. Discussion is performed on the main theoretical uncertainties associated to the calculations. (orig.)
