Abstract

We show that the cross section of the diffractive production of bbˉb \bar b can be described as the sum of two contributions: the first is proportional to the probability of finding a small size bbˉb \bar b color dipole in the fast hadron wave function before the interaction with a target, while the second is the bbˉb \bar b-production after or during the interaction with the target. The formulae are presented as well as the discussion of the interralation between these two contributions and the Ingelman- Schlein and coherent diffraction mechanisms. The main precdition is that the coherent diffraction mechanism dominates at least at the Tevatron Energies, giving the unique possibility to study it experimentally.
