Elastic $\pi^{+}p$ and $\pi^{+}\pi^{+}$ scattering at LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-03-17 v2

Abstract

We discuss the possibility of measuring leading neutron production at the LHC. These data could be used to extract from it π+p\pi^+ p and π+π+\pi^+\pi^+ cross-sections. In this note we give some estimates for the case of elastic cross-sections and discuss related problems and prospects.
