Truncated BFKL Series and Hadronic Collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

A truncated BFKL series is studied and applied to hadronic processes. The proton-(anti)proton cross sections are described with good agreement with data and in a way consistent with the unitarity bound. The elastic scattering amplitude is calculated at momentum transfer tt different from zero, introducing two distinct ansatze for the proton impact factor. The elastic differential cross section is obtained at small tt approximation and compared with the data.
