Odderon in baryon-baryon scattering from the AdS/CFT correspondence

TL;DR

This paper uses the AdS/CFT correspondence to model C-odd exchanges in high-energy baryon scattering, predicting differences in total cross sections between proton-proton and proton-antiproton collisions at high energies.

Contribution

It provides a holographic framework for understanding C-odd exchanges in baryon scattering and predicts energy-dependent differences in total cross sections.

Findings

Total cross section in pp exceeds par{p} at high energies

Warp factor of AdS_5 influences scattering outcomes

Holographic description of C-odd exchanges

Abstract

Based on the AdS/CFT correspondence, we present a holographic description of various C-odd exchanges in high energy baryon-baryon and baryon-antibaryon scattering, and calculate their respective contributions to the difference in the total cross sections. We predict that, due to the warp factor of AdS_5, the total cross section in pp collisions is larger than in p\bar{p} collisions at asymptotically high energies.
