Total, elastic and diffractive cross sections at LHC in the Miettinen-Pumplin model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

Predictions for the total, elastic and single diffractive cross sections calculated for the LHC in the framework of the Miettinen-Pumplin model are presented. The total cross section is expected to be 15% smaller than that determined by Donnachie and Landshoff in the model with soft pomeron. The diffractive cross section is almost constant in the Tevatron-LHC energy range.
