We investigate the polarization parameters in low-energy antiproton-proton elastic ($\bar{p}p\rightarrow\bar{p}p$) and charge-exchange ($\bar{p}p\rightarrow\bar{n}n$) scattering. The predictions for unmeasured observables are based on our…
We discuss scaling properties of the elastic $pp$ cross-section both at the ISR and the LHC. We observe that the ratio of bump to dip positions of the differential cross-section $d\sigma_{\rm el}/dt$ is constant over a wide energy range. We…
Colliding high energy hadrons either produce new particles or scatter elastically with their quantum numbers conserved and no other particles produced. We consider the latter case here. Although inelastic processes dominate at high…
We calculate the effects on the elastic electron-proton scattering cross section of the two-photon exchange contribution with an intermediate $\Delta$ resonance. The $\Delta$ two-photon exchange contribution is found to be smaller in…

We examine the total cross section of virtual photons on protons, $\sigma_{\gamma^* p}(W^2,Q^2)$, at low $x \cong Q^2/W^2 \ll 1$ and its connection with ``elastic'' diffractive production $\gamma^*_{T,L}p \to X^{J=1}_{T,L} p$ in the…
The GEp-III and GEp-2$\gamma$ experiments, carried out in Jefferson Lab's Hall C from 2007-2008, consisted of measurements of polarization transfer in elastic electron-proton scattering at momentum transfers of $Q^2 = 2.5, 5.2, 6.8,$ and…
We extend the use of derivative dispersion relations to the study of slopes of the real and imaginary amplitudes in pp and p-pbar elastic scattering. The new relations are tested against the solutions for the amplitudes obtained in the…
