The model of elastic scattering amplitudes dominated by the triple (at $t=0$) pomeron pole suggested earlier is modified to confront to existing experimental data on $pp$ and $\bar pp$ total and differential cross sections at $\sqrt{s}\geq…
Analysis of the new experimental data obtained by the TOTEM Collaboration at LHC at $\sqrt{s} = 7 \ $TeV at small momentum transfer is presented. The impact of the different assumptions on the extraction of the parameters of the elastic…
The hard pomeron first came to light in deep inelastic lepton scattering, but evidence that it contributes also to soft hadronic collisions is reinforced by the fact that it seems to obey a factorisation similar to that of other Regge…
The cross sections of the high energy proton-proton scattering are studied in a holographic QCD model, focusing on the Regge regime. In our model setup, the involved nonperturbative partonic dynamics is described by the Pomeron exchange,…
In this paper we discuss the Odderon contribution in our model[19] that gives a fairly good description of $\sigma_{\rm tot}$ $\sigma_{\rm el}$and $B_{\rm el}$ for proton-proton scattering. We show that the shadowing corrections are large,…
Very precise data on elastic proton-proton scattering at $\sqrt{s}=7$, $8$ and $13$ TeV have been obtained by the TOTEM group at LHC in the near-forward region (momentum transfers down to $|t| = 6 \times 10^{-4}\ {\rm GeV}^2$ at…
A comparative phenomenological analysis of Regge models with and without a hard Pomeron component is performed using a common set of recently updated data. It is shown that the data at small $x$ do not indicate explicitly the presence of…
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…
A model for soft high-energy scattering is developed. The model is formulated in terms of effective propagators and vertices for the exchange objects: the pomeron, the odderon, and the reggeons. The vertices are required to respect standard…
It is important to check if the Froissaron-Maximal Odderon (FMO) approach is the only model in agreement with the LHC data. We therefore generalized the FMO approach by relaxing the $\ln^2s$ constraints both in the even-and…
In this paper we suggest a new approach to the structure of the soft Pomeron: based on the $t$-channel unitarity, we expressed the exchange of the soft Pomeron through the interaction of the dipole of small size of the order of $1/Q_s(Y)$…
We analyze the recently discovered phenomena in elastic proton-proton scattering at the LHC, challenging the standard Regge-pole theory: the low-$|t|$ "break" (departure from the exponential behavior of the diffraction cone), the…
A comparative study on some representative parametrizations for the total and elastic cross-sections as a function of energy is presented. The dataset comprises pp and \bar{p}p scattering in the c.m energy interval 5 GeV-8 TeV. The…
A method allowing for a direct comparison of data with theoretical predictions is proposed for forward jet production at HERA. It avoids the reconstruction of multi-parton contributions by expressing the experimental data directly as…
We show how the sum of a hard singularity, $F_{2H}(x,Q^2_0)\sim x^{-\lambda}$ and a soft Pomeron $F_{2P}(x,Q^2_0)\sim Const.$ for the singlet piece of the structure function $F_{2S}=F_{2H}+F_{2P}$ for $Q_0^2\sim a few GeV^2$, plus a…
Regge models for proton structure function with and without a hard Pomeron contribution are compared with all available data in the region $W>3$ GeV, $Q^{2}\leq 3000$ GeV$^{2}$ and $x<0.75$. It is shown that the data do not support a hard…
We revisit a discussion on the impact-parameter dependence of proton-proton elastic scattering amplitude with improved uncertainty calculation. This analysis allows to reveal the asymptotic properties of hadron interactions. New data…
Integral and derivative dispersion relations (DR) are considered for the forward scattering $pp$ and $\bar pp$ amplitudes. A new representation for the derivative DR, valid not only at high energy, is obtained. The data on the total cross…
We present the results of fitting all data for $pp$ and $\bar pp$ scattering at $\sqrt s \geq 9.7$ Gev and up to the collider energy with various analytic parametrizations of the elastic forward scattering amplitudes based on the derivative…
We present a formalism for high energy soft processes, mediated by Pomerons, which embodies pion-loop insertions in the Pomeron trajectory, rescattering effects via a two-channel eikonal and high-mass diffractive dissociation. It describes…
