We consider simple-pole descriptions of soft elastic scattering for pp, pbar p, pi+ p, pi- p, K+ p and K- p. We work at t and s small enough for rescatterings to be neglected, and allow for the presence of a hard pomeron. After building and…

A few analytic exponential models of elastic differential cross section, constructed as purely phenomenological models, are proposed and tested. The models incorporate energy-dependent exponential slopes, power-law prefactors, and localized…
We introduce a new model of near-forward elastic proton-(anti)proton scattering at high energy based on the modern formulation of Pomeron and Odderon in terms of Wilson lines and generalized TMDs (GTMDs). We compute the helicity-dependent…

We calculate the parity-nonconserving longitudinal asymmetry in the elastic $\vec{p} p$ scattering at the energies where experimental data are available. In addition to the standard one-meson exchange weak potential, the variation of the…

Constraints on the t-dependence of the hadronic scattering amplitude at asymptotic energies are derived by considering the exchange of the Pomeron, as a Regge pole, between off-shell gluons. Covariant reggeization ensures pure spin alpha…
