$pp$ and $\bar pp$ total cross sections and elastic scattering

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that proton-proton and antiproton-proton total cross sections and elastic scattering data, including recent TOTEM results, align well with predictions from Regge theory.

Contribution

It provides evidence that Regge theory accurately describes $pp$ and $par p$ scattering data, including recent experimental results.

Findings

Data agree with Regge theory predictions

Includes recent TOTEM experiment results

Validates Regge theory for elastic scattering

Abstract

It is shown that $p p$ and $p\bar p$ data, including those from the TOTEM experiment, agree well with Regge theory.
