Abstract
We use the constituent quark model (CQM) to describe CDF data on double parton cross section and HERA data on the $ J / \Psi$ ratio cross section of elastic and inelastic diffractive productions. Our estimate shows that the radius of the constituent quark turns out to be rather small, $R^2_{\mathrm {{quark}}} \approx 0.1$ GeV -2, in accordance with the assumption on which CQM is based.
