Recent data from the CERN ISR on the fractional proton yield in pp collisions are explained within the Stockholm diquark model. Describing the proton as a u(ud)0 system, the observed high magnitude and fall-off pT, θ and √s of the proton yield are natural consequences of constituent diquark elastic scattering. The pT and θ dependence favour a value of around 10 GeV2/c2 for the size parameter in the diquark form factor, corresponding to a diquark rms radius of around 0.2 fm. This is consistent with earlier results of the model applied to deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering and e+e- annihilation
