Abstract

The impact-parameter structure of several two-component multihadronic production models is studied in the framework of elastic initial-state absorption. Models in which both the diffractive and the nondiffractive mechanisms lead to increasing cross sections are used to exemplify the nonlinear nature of absorption. It is found that absorptive effects may result in a large range of impact-parameter structures. On the one hand, diffractive components barely distinguishable from nondiffractive components are encountered and, on the other hand, absorption may lead to a "splitting" of the Pomeron into peripheral diffractive processes and central nondiffractive processes.
