Evolution equation for soft physics at high energy

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-05-21 v1

Abstract

Based on the non-linear logistic equation we study, in a qualitative and semi-quantitative way, the evolution with energy and saturation of the elastic differential cross-section in pp(pˉp)pp(\bar{p}p) collisions at high energy. Geometrical scaling occurs at the black disk limit, and scaling develops first for small values of the scaling variable tσtot.|t|\sigma_{tot.}. Our prediction for dσ/ dtd \sigma / \ d t at LHC, with two zeros and a minimum at large t|t| differs, as far as we know, from all existing ones.
