The survival probability of large rapidity gaps in a three channel model

The values and energy dependence for the survival probability $< \mid S\mid^2 >$ of large rapidity gaps (LRG) are calculated in a three channel model. This model includes single and double diffractive production, as well as elastic rescattering. It is shown that $< \mid S \mid^2 >$ decreases with increasing energy, in line with recent results for LRG dijet production at the Tevatron. This is in spite of the weak dependence on energy of the ratio $(\sigma_{el}+ \sigma_{SD})/\sigma_{tot}$.
