Description
Recent developments in the Lund Dipole Cascade Model make it possible
to study diffractive processes in high energy heavy ion collisions by
this tools. In the dipole formalism of parton interactions fluctuations
are naturally included and adding them to the pomeron ladder they
substantially determine the diffractive excitation cross sections in such
reactions. Our Monte Carlo event generator provides results for pA and
\gamma-A diffractive cross reactions that are shown and discussed. A
general observation is that their ratios compared to the total cross
sections are relatively small but not negligible.
