An analytic formula is given for the total scattering cross section of an electron and a photon at order $\alpha^3$. This includes both the double-Compton scattering real-emission contribution as well as the virtual Compton scattering part.…
We present predictions on the total cross sections and on the ratio of the real part to the imaginary part of the elastic amplitude (rho parameter) for present and future pp and pbar p colliders, and on total cross sections for gamma p ->…
Radiative corrections (RC) to the Compton scattering cross section are calculated in the leading and next-to leading logarithmic approximation to the case of colliding high energy photon-electron beams. RC to the double Compton scattering…
At very high energy and wide angles, Compton scattering on the proton (gamma p -> gamma p) is described by perturbative QCD. The perturbative QCD calculation has been performed several times previously, at leading twist and at leading order…
A measurement is presented of elastic deeply virtual Compton scattering \gamma* p \to \gamma p made using e^+ p collision data corresponding to a luminosity of 46.5 pb^{-1}, taken with the H1 detector at HERA. The cross section is measured…
We analyse deeply-virtual Compton scattering on a proton target, gamma* P -> P' gamma in the backward region and in the scaling regime. We define the transition distribution amplitudes which describe the proton to photon transition.…
The process e+ e- -> e+ e- Z/gamma* is studied with the OPAL detector at LEP at a centre of mass energy of sqrt(s) = 189 GeV. The cross-section times the branching ratio of the Z/gamma* decaying into hadrons is measured within Lorentz…
Based on the behavior of the elastic scattering data, we introduce an almost model-independent parametrization for the imaginary part of the scattering amplitude, with the energy and momentum transfer dependences inferred on empirical basis…
The ``normal'' analysis of $\pbar p$ and $pp$ elastic scattering uses a `spinless' Coulomb amplitude, \ie a Rutherford amplitude ($2\sqrt{\pi}\alpha/t$) multiplied by a Coulomb form factor $G^2(t)$, an {\em ansatz} that pretends that the…
Previous work on calculating energy spectra from Compton scattering events has either neglected considering the pulsed structure of the incident laser beam, or has calculated these effects in an approximate way subject to criticism. In this…
We present a dispersive analysis with the aim to extract the $\Upsilon$-p scattering length from $\gamma p \to \Upsilon p$ experiments. In this framework, the imaginary part of the $\Upsilon$-p forward scattering amplitude is obtained from…
In the analysis of experimental data on $p p$ (or $\bar p p$) elastic differential cross section it is customary to define an average forward slope $b$ in the form $\exp{(-b|t|)}$, where $t$ is the momentum transfer. Taking as working…
We present calculations of differential cross sections for Compton scattering from the proton, using amplitudes calculated to fourth order in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We compare with available data up to 200 MeV. We find…
In this work we present an active Compton scattering polarimeter as a focal plane instrument able to extend the X-ray polarimetry towards hard X-rays. Other authors have already studied various instrument design by means of Monte Carlo…

We prove the general theorem that the real part of the forward two-body scattering amplitude is positive at sufficiently high energies if, above a certain energy, the total cross section increases monotonically to infinity at infinite…

We derive the forward photoproduction amplitude for the diffractive $\gamma p \to l^+ l^- p$ reaction in the momentum space. within the formalism of $k_\perp$- factorization. Predictions for the $\gamma p \to l^+ l^- p$ reaction are given…
The increase of the measured hadronic total cross sections at the highest energies is empirically described by squared log of center-of-mass energy sqrt s as sigma(tot)= B (log s)2, consistent with the energy dependence of the Froissart…
