It is shown that the absorption is stronger in the case of $pp$ collision. The difference in strength of the absorption for the $pp\to Xn$ and $ep\to e'Xn$ reactions breaks the factorization peculiar to the pure one pion exchange. We evaluate the emerging model dependence of extraction of the small-$x$ pion structure function from an analysis of the HERA data on the neutron production at physical values of $t$.15 pages, LaTeX, including 15 eps-figuresHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
