Elastic Scattering at the LHC
A. Donnachie, P. V. Landshoff
TL;DR
This paper discusses initial LHC measurements of elastic scattering that align with Regge theory predictions and indicate the necessity of including a hard-pomeron component for accurate modeling.
Contribution
It provides experimental evidence supporting the inclusion of a hard-pomeron in elastic scattering models at high energies.
Findings
Data agrees with Regge theory predictions
Evidence for a hard-pomeron contribution
Supports theoretical models of elastic scattering
Abstract
The first data from the TOTEM experiment agree well with Regge theory, and demand a hard-pomeron contribution.
