Description
It is explained that the Good – Walker model of diffraction is viable only for small t which are parametrically smaller than the inverse square of the nucleon radius. Example of J/\psi production in inelastic rapidity gap kinematics is considered and it is argues that the knockout mechanism becomes important/ dominates already at -t ~ 0.5 GeV^2. Restrictions on the distribution of gluons in nucleons from the MPI phenomenology are also considered.
