Energy Dependence of Profile Functions in $\rm{p\bar p}$ and $\rm pp$ Scattering
Abstract
We construct analytical forms in the impact parameter -space for the real and imaginary amplitudes describing elastic pp and scattering. The amplitudes converted analytically to the momentum transfer -space have magnitudes, slopes, curvatures, zeros, signs, obeying phenomenological and theoretical expectations, and describe with high precision all details of the data, in the full-t range, and for energies from 20 GeV to 7 TeV. The connection of forward with large- behavior allows precise determination of total cross-sections, slopes and other scattering parameters. We study the properties and the energy dependence of the -space profile functions, observing that the real part has fundamental influence in the structure of at intermediate and large values. We discuss the 540/546 GeV and 1.8/1.96 TeV data from CERN SPS and Fermilab TEVATRON and the 7 TeV results from TOTEM measurements at LHC, and investigate the extrapolation to 14 TeV and higher energies.
