Inspired by the new TOTEM data on elastic $pp$ scattering at 13 TeV, we study the possibility to describe all the diffractive collider data ($\sigma_{\rm tot}, d\sigma_{\rm el}/dt$, $\rho\equiv$Re$A$/Im$A$, \sd) in a wide interval of energy…
Accelerating, exact, explicit and simple solutions of relativistic hydrodynamics allow for a simple description of highly relativistic p+p collisions. These solutions yield a finite rapidity distribution, thus they lead to an advanced…
A significant fraction of pp collisions at the LHC will involve (quasi-real) photon interactions occurring at energies well beyond the electroweak energy scale. Hence, the LHC can to some extend be considered as a high-energy photon-photon…
We study charged particle production in proton-antiproton collisions at 300 GeV, 900 GeV, and 1.96 TeV. We use the direction of the charged particle with the largest transverse momentum in each event to define three regions of eta-phi…

Proton-proton total and elastic cross sections are considered in the Dakhno-Nikonov eikonal model [L.G. Dakhno, V.A. Nikonov, Eur. Phys. J. A8, 209 (1999)] at ultra-high energies. The model takes into account the quark structure of hadrons…
It is shown that the darkness of the interaction region of protons is governed by the ratio of the slope of the diffraction cone to the total cross section. At LHC energies, it becomes completely absorptive at small impact parameters. The…
