Abstract

We discuss the salient features of the Pomeron splitting mechanism for coherent diffraction of pions into hard dijets on nuclei. Our findings include antishadowing multiple-Pomeron splitting expansion for diffractive amplitudes, exact cancellation of nuclear attenuation, and broadening/antishadowing effects to leading twist and parameter-free perturbative calculation of nuclear-rescattering-driven higher twist correction. We comment on the pQCD interpretation of the E791 results on diffractive dijets.
