Colliding Pomerons

We recall the main properties of inclusive particle distributions expected for Pomeron-proton and Pomeron-Pomeron interactions. Due to the small size of the Pomeron we expect larger transverse momenta of secondaries and a smaller probability of Multiple Interactions, that is a narrower multiplicity distribution. We propose to compare the spectra of secondaries produced in the Pomeron and the proton interactions in terms of the Feynman $x_F$ variable. The main difference should be observed for a relatively large $x_F$, that is near the edge of rapidity gaps. Such data offer the opportunity to illuminate the properties of the `soft' or `Regge' Pomeron, which drives the minimum-bias type of events in high energy $pp$ interactions. Besides this, there should be a good opportunity to observe a glueball in the Pomeron fragmentation region.
