New mode in the hadron scattering is predicted to appear at the energies beyond $\sqrt{s}\simeq 2$ TeV: the antishadow scattering mode and the experiments at LHC and VLHC in hadronic reactions will be able to reveal it. The appearance of…
Numerical predictions for the global characteristics of proton-proton interactions are given for the LHC energy. Possibilities for the discovery of the antishadow scattering mode and its physical implications are discussed.
We point out to another indication of the black-disk limit exceeding in hadron interactions found in the recent impact parameter analysis performed by the TOTEM Collaboration at $\sqrt{s}$=8 TeV and emphasise that this observation might be…
By using realistic models for elastic hadron scattering we demonstrate that at present accelerator energies the $s$-channel unitarity bound is safe, not to be reached until $10^5$ GeV, while the black disc limit is saturated around 1 TeV.…
We discuss geometrical picture of hadron interactions and, in particular, the presence of energy--invariant edge in elastic scattering resulting from a transition to the reflective scattering mode which is supported by the recent LHC data.…
We consider transition from shadow to relective scattering mode and behavior of the amplitude and cross--sections of hadron interactions in the both modes.
We discuss role of absorbtion and antishadowing in particle production. Antishadowing, which leads to domination of elastic scattering at high energies, appears to be consistent with growth of mean multiplicity in hadronic collisions.…
The reflective scattering mode is supposed to play a significant role in hadron interactions at the LHC energy region and beyond. We discuss connection of this mode to the color conducting medium formation in hadron collisions and its role…
We study the interplay of hadronic and Coulomb interactions for $pp$ scattering at LHC energies on the basis of the previous determination of the real part of the amplitude [{\it V.V. Anisovich, V.A. Nikonov, J. Nyiri}, Int. J. Mod. Phys.…
In hadron interactions at the LHC energies, the reflective scattering mode starts to play a role which is expected to be even a more significant beyond the energies of the LHC. This new but still arguable phenomenon implies a peripheral…
The analysis of current ultrahigh energy data for hadronic total cross sections and diffractive scattering cross sections points to a steady growth of the optical density with energy for elastic scattering amplitudes in the impact parameter…
An interpretation is given for elastic proton scattering at ultra-high energies with impact-parameter amplitude exceeding the black disk limit. It is shown that this scattering mode can arise due to the contribution of an exceptional…
Recent models of soft diffraction include a hard pomeron pole besides the usual soft term. Such models violate the black-disk limit around Tevatron energies, so that they need to be supplemented by a unitarisation scheme. Several such…
This note is devoted to discussion of the reflective scattering mode. This mode connection to the color conducting medium formed under hadron collisions is proposed.
We discuss effects of reflective scattering for heavy nuclei collisions and the deconfined matter formation at the LHC and asymptotical energies. Reflective scattering in hadron collisions leads to decreasing matter density with energy…
Interest and problems in the studies of diffraction at LHC are highlighted. Predictions for the global characteristics of proton-proton interactions at the LHC energy are given. Potential discoveries of the antishadow scattering mode and…
It is argued that the very first signatures of the approach to the black disk asymptotical limit in hadron collisions may be observed in the differential cross section of elastic scattering. The exponentially decreasing with the angle (or…
Proceeding from optical analogy we propose a new physical interpretation of unitarity saturation leading to antishadowing as a reflective scattering. This interpretation of antishadowing is related to the non-perturbative aspects of strong…
We discuss effects of reflective scattering for hadron and heavy nuclei collisions at the LHC and asymptotical energies. It is shown that the reflective scattering might lead to decreasing matter density with energy beyond the LHC energies.…
