Abstract

We suggest a new correlation in diffractive production of 2 ``clusters'' A+BABA+B\to A^\ast B^\ast with large intrinsic angular momenta for each AA^\ast and BB^\ast cluster. These correlations are expected in the context of the ``color dipole picture'' for high energy collision and reflect the approximate conservation of dipole direction during the collision. This conservation is in particular manifest when the two dipoles, dA\vec d_A, dB\vec d_B and the impact vector \undtilb\undtilb are all parallel. The predicted positive triple correlation is between the momentum transfer \undtildel\undtildel and the planes of the AA^\ast and BB^\ast clusters.
