Remarks on the Proton Structure

TL;DR

This paper discusses proton scattering data, highlighting differences between proton-proton and electron-proton interactions, and shows how charge-monopole theory explains these features while predicting outcomes for the LHC.

Contribution

It demonstrates that the regular charge-monopole theory accounts for key scattering data and offers predictions for future collider experiments.

Findings

Charge-monopole theory explains elastic and inelastic scattering features.

Differences between proton-proton and electron-proton data are clarified.

Predictions for LHC scattering outcomes are provided.

Abstract

Elastic and inelastic cross section 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.
