We describe the main features of recent LHC data on elastic pp scattering through a simple parametrization to the amplitude, inspired by a model proposed by Barger and Phillips in 1973, comprising of two exponentials with a relative phase.…
Measurements of the ratio of the elastic form factors of the proton ($\mu_pG_E/G_M$) exhibit a strong discrepancy. Experiments using unpolarized beams and Rosenbluth separation to determine the form factors have found values of the ratio…

In a recent paper, Pelaez and Yndurain evaluate some of the low energy observables of pi pi scattering and obtain flat disagreement with our earlier results. The authors work with unsubtracted dispersion relations, so that their results are…
A simple application of Regge theory, with 9 free parameters, provides a good fit to elastic scattering data at small t from 13.76 GeV to 13 TeV. It yields a value for rho, the ratio of the real part of the forward amplitude to its…
Integral and derivative dispersion relations (DR) are considered for the $pp$ and $\bar pp$ forward scattering amplitudes. A new representation for the derivative DR, valid at lower energies than the standard one, is obtained. The data on…
