Features of high energy pp and pA elastic scattering at small t Abstract A method for the determination of the real part of the elastic scattering amplitude is examined for high energy proton-proton and proton-nuclei elastic scattering at small momentum transfer. This method allows us to decrease the number of model assumptions, to obtain the real parts of the spin-non-flip and spin-flip amplit...

A method for the calculation of the luminosity for the proton-nucleus collisions based on the quasi-free proton-proton scattering is presented. As an example of application the integrated luminosity for the scattering of protons off the deuteron target is determined for the experiment of the quasi-free pn → pnη reaction performed by means of the COSY-11 facility.

Elastic and inelastic cross sections of proton-proton and electron-proton scattering are discussed. Special attention is given to elastic scattering and to the striking difference between the data of these two kinds of experiments. It is shown that the regular charge-monopole theory explains the main features of the data. Predictions of results of CERN's Large Hadron Collider are pointed out.

Eta meson production in the proton-proton scattering is dominated by the low-mass meson exchange. We present a brief study on how the type of the exchanged mesons within coupled-channel and multi-resonance model influences the scattering observables. We show under which circumstances the eta exchange may explain the shape of the observed cross sections, and present a few selected results: total...

The diffraction slope parameter is investigated for elastic proton-proton and protonantiproton scattering based on the all available experimental data at intermediate square of momentum transfer in the main. Energy dependence of the elastic diffraction slope is approximated by various analytic functions in a model-independent fashion. The expanded standard logarithmic approximations allow to de...

The diffraction slope parameter is investigated for elastic proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering based on the all available experimental data at low and intermediate momentum transfer values. Energy dependence of the elastic diffraction slopes is approximated by various analytic functions. The expanded ”standard” logarithmic approximations with minimum number of free parameters allow ...

Abstract. The explicit procedures are described for reconstruction of the full set of helicity amplitudes in proton-proton and proton-antiproton elastic scattering. The procedures are based on the derivative relations for the helicity amplitudes in s-channel, on the explicit parametrization of the leading spin non flip amplitudes and crossing symmetry relations. Asymptotic theorems are used for...

in addition to optimal conditions, invariant laws of lorentz, parity and time reversal are imposed to find the relation between observables (spin rotation parameters) and bilinear combination of helicity amplitudes in pion-proton elastic scattering at 6.0 gev/c. by normalizing the differential cross-section to unity, the magnitudes of helicity amplitudes and the angle between them are determine...
