Soft Dipole Pomeron in hadronic elastic and in deep inelastic scattering

TL;DR

This paper reviews the Soft Dipole Pomeron model, demonstrating its ability to describe hadronic elastic scattering and deep inelastic scattering data with a consistent, unitarity-preserving approach that features a $Q^2$ independent intercept.

Contribution

It introduces a Dipole Pomeron model with an intercept equal to one, capable of describing various scattering data without violating unitarity.

Findings

Successfully describes hadron-hadron interaction data

Models proton structure function with a $Q^2$ independent intercept

Maintains unitarity limit on total elastic cross-section

Abstract

A brief review on the Dipole Pomeron model is given. The model not only describes data on hadron-hadron interactions, but also allows to describe data on the proton structure function with a $Q^2$ independent intercept. Moreover the chosen Dipole Pomeron has an intercept equal to one and does not violate unitarity limit on the total elastic cross-section.
