Of all nuclear physics experiments none are more fundamental than ``elastic'' $p,p$ and, secondarily, $p,d$ or $d,d$ scattering. Recognizing that these particles are themselves composite, ``elastic'' scattering may be accompanied by…

We consider the differential and total cross sections for proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering in the Regge regime from the point of view of string dual models of QCD. We argue that the form factor which appears in the…
We re-analyze the data of the elastic electron proton scattering to look for model-independent evidence of the two-photon-exchange (TPE) effect. In contrast to previous analyses, TPE effect is parametrized in forms which are free of…
We analyse pp elastic scattering data at the highest accelerator energy region (between 10 and 63 GeV) through a multiple diffraction approach. The use of Martin's formula in a model developed earlier is substituted by the introduction of a…
We present our analysis of the available experimental data on correlation between mean transverse momentum and charged particles multiplicity ($\langle p_T \rangle$-$N_{ch}$) at central rapidity in $pp$ and $p\bar{p}$ collisions at…
We comment on the treatment of asymptotic black-disk scattering in a recent paper of Nastase and Sonnenschein, Phys.\ Rev.\ D\ {\bf 92}, 015028 (2015), on scattering in an updated version of the Heisenberg model which gives $pp$ and…
The model independent analysis of the $dp$ elastic scattering in the collinear geometry has been performed. It is shown that the measurements of 10 polarization observables of the first and second order realize the complete experimental…
Understanding the data on the total cross section $\sigma_{tot}($e$^+$e$^-\to$e$^+$e$^-b\bar{b})$ measured at LEP2 represents a serious challenge for perturbative QCD. In order to unravel the origins of the discrepancy between data and…
We study the Odderon contribution to elastic pp and ppbar scattering at high energies. Different models for the Odderon-proton coupling are considered and their effects on the differential cross section in the dip region are investigated.…
Based on the extended optical model approach in which the polarization potential is decomposed into direct reaction (DR) and fusion parts, simultaneous $\chi^{2}$ analyses are performed for elastic scattering, DR, and fusion cross section…
The discrepancy between proton electromagnetic form factors extracted using unpolarized and polarized scattering data is believed to be a consequence of two-photon exchange (TPE) effects. However, the calculations of TPE corrections have…
Utilizing the most recent experimental data, we reanalyze high energy \pbar p and pp data, using two distinct (and {\em dissimilar}) analysis techniques: (1) asymptotic amplitude analysis, under the assumption that we have reached…
The ratios $\rho^{pp}_{\bar pp}(s)$ of the real to the imaginary part of forward elastic $pp$ and $\bar pp$ scattering amplitudes at very high energies are considered in the models with rising total cross-sections and its difference. It is…
We show that a generalized Regge behaviour, $$Im F(s,t)\simeq \Phi(t)(\log s/\hat{s})^{\nu(t)}(s/\hat{s})^{\alpha_P(t)},\quad{\rm for} |t|<|t_0|, s\to\infty$$ where $\Phi(t)\simeq e^{bt}$, $\alpha_P(t)\simeq \alpha_P(0)+\alpha'_P(0)t$, and…
We analyse the recent LHC data at 7 and 8 TeV for pp elastic scattering with special attention for the structure of the real part, which is shown to be crucial to describe the differential cross section in the forward region. We determine…
A simple L\'evy-$\alpha$ stable (SL) model is used to describe the data on elastic $pp$ and $p\bar p$ scattering at low-$|t|$ from SPS energies up to LHC energies. The SL model is demonstrated to describe the data with a strong…
Based on duality, we previously proposed to use rich informations on pi p total cross sections below N=10GeV in addition to high-energy data in order to discriminate whether these cross sections increase like log nu or log2 nu at high…
The local nuclear slope $B(s,t) = {d \over d t} (\ln {d\sigma_n (s,t)\over dt})$ is reconstructed from the experimental angular distributions with a procedure that uses overlapping $t$-bins, for an energy that ranges from the ISR to the…
In a special run of the LHC with $\beta^\star = 2.5~$km, proton-proton elastic-scattering events were recorded at $\sqrt{s} = 13~$TeV with an integrated luminosity of $340~\mu \textrm{b}^{-1}$ using the ALFA subdetector of ATLAS in 2016.…
