An empirical model for $pp$ scattering and geometrical scaling

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-03-02 v1

Abstract

We present the result of an empirical model for elastic pppp scattering at LHC which indicates that the asymptotic black disk limit R=\sigel/\sigtot1/2{\cal R}=\sigel/\sigtot\rightarrow1/2 is not yet reached and discuss the implications on classical geometrical scaling behavior. We propose a geometrical scaling law for the position of the dip in elastic pppp scattering which allows to make predictions valid both for intermediate and asymptotic energies.
