Real part of $pp$ scattering amplitude in Additive Quark Model at LHC energies

TL;DR

This paper models elastic proton-proton scattering at LHC energies using the Additive Quark Model combined with Pomeron exchange, comparing theoretical results with recent experimental data on the real-to-imaginary amplitude ratio.

Contribution

It introduces a combined approach of the Additive Quark Model and Pomeron exchange to analyze the real part of the scattering amplitude at high energies.

Findings

Results agree with experimental data on the real-to-imaginary ratio

Model successfully describes small transverse momentum scattering

Provides insights into the scattering amplitude structure at LHC energies

Abstract

Elastic $pp$ scattering at LHC energies is treated in Additive Quark Model together with Pomeron exchange theory. The obtained results are compared with the new experimental data on the ratio of real to imaginary part of the scattering amplitude at the small transverse momenta
