The amplitudes for the $pp\ensuremath{\rightarrow}pp{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ process applicable at high energy are discussed in detail. Both diffractive bremsstrahlung (Drell-Hiida-Deck-type model), photon-photon and photon-omega exchange mechanisms are included in the calculation. Large cross sections of the order of mb are predicted. The corresponding differential cross sections in rapidities and transverse momenta of …
