We predict pp elastic differential cross section at LHC at the c.m. energy 14 TeV and momentum transfer range |t| = 0-10 GeV*2, which is planned to be measured by the TOTEM group. The field theory model underlying our phenomenological…
The odderon, a leading crossing-odd $t$-channel exchange, was first proposed by L. Lukaszuk and B. Nicolescu in 1973, but its existence remained elusive for 48 years. Elastic proton-proton scattering measurements at CERN's Large Hadron…
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…
The recent data by the TOTEM Collaboration on $\sigma_{tot}$ and $\rho$ at 13 TeV, have shown agreement with a leading Odderon contribution at the highest energies, as demonstrated in the very recent analysis by Martynov and Nicolescu (MN).…
We study the scaling properties of the differential cross section of elastic proton-proton ($pp$) and proton-antiproton ($p\bar p$) collisions at high energies. We introduce a new scaling function, that scales -- within the experimental…
Elastic scattering amplitudes dominated by the Pomeron singularity which obey the principal unitarity bounds at high energies are constructed and analyzed. Confronting the models of double and triple (at $t=0$) Pomeron pole (supplemented by…
We study the high-energy behavior of the elastic scattering amplitude using two distinct unitarization schemes: the eikonal and the $U$-matrix. Our analysis begins with a formalism involving solely Pomerons, incorporating pion-loop…
We study high energy $\small{\rm{pp}}$ and $\small{\rm{\bar {p}p}}$ elastic scattering in the TeV region based on an effective field theory model of the proton. We phenomenologically investigate the main processes underlying elastic…

In this work, we propose that the odderon is a Regge odd-glueball tensor spin-3. To demonstrate our proposal, we study the $pp$ and $p\bar p$ elastic scattering by including contributions of the spin-3 odderon and spin-2 pomeron exchange in…
We investigate the form-factor dependence of Reggeized tensor Pomeron and Odderon exchanges in high-energy elastic $pp$ and $p\bar p$ scattering. The spin structure is implemented through explicit covariant spin-2 and spin-3 projectors,…
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 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.…
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…
We perform the analysis of elastic scattering $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ data at low momentum transfer $|t|<0.1$ GeV$^2$ within large collider energy interval $\sqrt{s}=50$ GeV - 13 TeV in order to evaluate quantitatively the possible Odderon…
We analyse the 13 TeV TOTEM data on elastic proton-proton scattering through a thorough statistical analysis, and obtain that $\rho=0.096\pm 0.006$ and $\sigma_{tot}=(107.5\pm 1.5)$ mb. Theoretical errors could lower the cross section by…
A model of a three Pomeron contribution to high energy elastic $pp$ and $\bar p p$ scattering is proposed. The data are well described for all momenta ($0.01\le |t|\le 14. GeV^2$) and energies ($8.\le\sqrt{s}\le 1800. GeV$) ($\chi^2/{\rm…
