To settle the question whether the growth with energy is universal for different hadronic total cross-sections, we present results from theoretical models for pion-proton, proton-proton and proton-antiproton total cross-sections. We show…
I present a new determination of the total cross section for proton-proton collisions from the recent Akeno results on absorption of the cosmic ray protons in the p-Air collisions. Extrapolation to the SSC energy suggests $\sigma_{tot}(p-p)…
We investigate the impact of inelastic collisions between dark matter (DM) and heavy cosmic ray (CR) nuclei on CR propagation. We approximate the fragmentation cross-sections for DM-CR collisions using collider-measured proton-nuclei…
First we calculate cross section for the $\gamma p \to \omega p$ reaction from the threshold to very large energies. At low energies the pion exchange is the dominant mechanism. At large energies the experimental cross section can be well…
High energy heavy-ion collisions are proposed as a novel means to constrain stringently the high density (HD) behaviour of nuclear symmetry energy. Within an isospin-dependent hadronic transport model, it is shown for the first time that…
Proton interactions with $^{16}$O nuclei are the most frequent nuclear interaction leading to secondary radiation in tissues for space radiation and cancer therapy with protons. In addition, $^{16}$O has the largest fluence of galactic…
We show that a growth of the proton-proton total cross section with energy can be entirely attributed to the purely perturbative mechanism. The infrared regularization at rather short distances, $R_c\simeq 0.3$ fm, allows to extend the BFKL…
A generic expression to compute triple parton scattering (TPS) cross sections in high-energy proton-nucleus (pA) collisions is derived as a function of the corresponding single-parton cross sections and an effective parameter encoding the…
The rapid rise in the cosmic ray positron fraction above 10 GeV, as measured by PAMELA and AMS, suggests the existence of nearby primary sources of high energy positrons, such as pulsars or annihilating/decaying dark matter. In contrast,…
We discuss thw relations between the elastic and inelastic cross-sections valid for the shadow and reflective modes of the elastic scattering. Considerations are based on the unitarity arguments. It is shown that the redistribution of the…
A recently developed model for $\rho$-meson propagation in dense hadronic matter is applied to total photoabsorption cross sections in $\gamma$-proton and $\gamma$-nucleus reactions. Within the vector dominance model the photon coupling to…
We present evidence for the saturation of the Froissart bound at high energy for {\em all hadronic} total cross sections at high energies, and use this to unify $pp$ (and $\bar p p$) total cross sections over the energy range from…
Constraints on the EoS for symmetric matter (equal neutron and proton numbers) at supra-saturation densities have been extracted from energetic collisions of heavy ions. Collisions of neutron-deficient and neutron-rich heavy ions now…
Experimental data on inclusive cross sections of the hadrons produced in high energy proton-(anti)proton collisions are analyzed in the z-scaling approach. Saturation of the scaling function PSI(z) for z<0.1 (low transverse momenta) was…
A model for both proton and photon total cross-sections is presented and compared with data. The model is based on the eikonal representation, with QCD mini-jets to drive the rise and soft gluon kt-resummation into the Infrared region to…
We present a model for high-energy emission in microquasars where the energy content of the jets is dominated by relativistic protons. We also include a primary leptonic component. Particles are accelerated up to relativistic energies in a…
The intrinsic transverse momentum distribution of partons in the nucleon can be used to explain a large amount of high-$p_T$ hadron and photon production data in high-energy nucleon-nucleon collisions at energies $\sqrt{s} \approx 20$ to…
The observed limiting fragmentation of charged particle distributions in heavy ion collisions is difficult to explain as it does not apply to the proton spectrum itself. On the other hand, string percolation provides a mechanism to…
A dense form of matter is formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The constituent degrees of freedom in this dense matter are currently unknown. Long-range, forward-backward multiplicity correlations (LRC) are expected to arise due to…
