In this paper we consider the soft processes at LHC energies in the framework of the Constituent Quark Model (CQM). We show that this rather naive model is able to describe all available soft data at lower energies and to predict the…
In this work the process of elastic hadron scattering is discussed. In particular, scattering amplitudes for the various Pomeron models are compared. In addition, differential elastic cross section as a function of the scattered proton…
We study the behaviour of elastic and diffractive proton dissociation cross sections at high energy. First, we describe what would be expected to be observed at the LHC based on conventional Regge theory. We emphasize the tension between…
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…
Elastic scattering data gained for proton-proton collisions at high energies are being analyzed at the present practically only with the help of purely phenomenological mathematical models. And the question exists whether in the impact…
`Soft' high-energy interactions are clearly important in pp collisions. Indeed, these events are dominant by many orders of magnitude, and about 40% are of diffractive origin; that is, due to elastic scattering or proton dissociation.…
Analyzing powers of pion-proton elastic scattering have been measured at PSI with the Low Energy Pion Spectrometer LEPS as well as a novel polarized scintillator target. Angular distributions between 40 and 120 deg (c.m.) were taken at…
The measurements of proton-proton elastic scattering for large momentum transfer at energies in the range $\approx$ 20 to 60 GeV show a simple behaviour of form $d \sigma/dt \approx {\rm const}~|t|^{-8}$, apparently with no energy…
We present a `new generation' model for high energy proton-proton `soft' interactions. It allows for a full set of multi-Pomeron vertices, as well as including multichannel eikonal scattering. It describes the behaviour of the proton-proton…
We formulate a generalization of the Glauber formalism for hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions based on the Pomeron approach to high energy interactions. Our treatment is based on two physical assumptions (i.e. two small…
The role of low-$x$ parton dynamics in dictating the high-energy behavior of forward scattering observables at LHC energies is investigated using a QCD-based model with even-under-crossing amplitude dominance at high-energies. We explore…
The PP2PP experiment is devoted to the proton-proton elastic scattering measurement at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the centre-of-mass energies between 50 and 500 GeV and the four-momentum transfer $0.0004 \leq |t| \leq 1.3$…
Integral and derivative dispersion relations (DR) are considered for the $pp$ and $\bar pp$ forward scattering amplitudes. A new representation for the derivative DR, valid at lower energies than the standard one, is obtained. The data on…
We assume that the scattering amplitude is represented by Froissaron, Maximal Odderon as well as by standard Regge poles. From the fit to the data of $pp$ and $\bar pp$ scattering at high energy and not too large momentum transfers we found…
Two-photon exchange (TPE) contributions to elastic electron-proton scattering in the forward regime are considered. The imaginary part of TPE amplitude in these kinematics is related to the DIS nucleon structure functions. The real part of…
With analytical representation for the pp scattering amplitudes introduced and tested at lower energies, a description of high precision is given of the $d\sigma/dt$ data at $\sqrt{s}$= 13 TeV for all values of the momentum transfer, with…
We describe the main features of recent LHC data on elastic pp scattering through a simple parametrization to the amplitude, inspired by a model proposed by Barger and Phillips in 1973, comprising of two exponentials with a relative phase.…

First results of a detailed analysis of p+p elastic scattering data are presented from ISR to LHC energies utilizing the quark-diquark model of protons in a form proposed by Bialas and Bzdak. The differential cross-section of elastic…
