Proton (antiproton) elastic scattering at energies from FNAL to LHC in the tripole pomeron-odderon model

TL;DR

This paper modifies a tripole pomeron-odderon model of elastic scattering amplitudes to fit existing proton-proton and antiproton-proton data and provides predictions for future high-energy measurements at the LHC.

Contribution

It introduces a modified tripole pomeron-odderon model that better describes elastic scattering data across a wide energy range and offers predictions for upcoming LHC experiments.

Findings

Model successfully fits existing data at $ oot s \\geq 19$ GeV.

Provides predictions for TOTEM measurements at 13 and 14 TeV.

Enhances understanding of pomeron-odderon contributions in elastic scattering.

Abstract

The model of elastic scattering amplitudes dominated by the triple (at $t=0$) pomeron pole suggested earlier is modified to confront to existing experimental data on $pp$ and $\bar pp$ total and differential cross sections at $\sqrt{s}\geq 19$ GeV and $|t|\leq 14.2$ GeV$^{2}$ including the newest TOTEM data. Predictions for the future TOTEM measurements at 13 and 14 TeV are given.
