We construct the hadronic multiplicity distribution in terms of an elementary distribution (at given impact parameter) and the inelastic overlap function characterized by the observed BEL (Blacker-Edgier-Larger) behaviour. With suitable…
We show that the p_T spectra measured in pp collisions at the LHC exhibit geometrical scaling introduced earlier in the context of deep inelastic scattering. We also argue that the onset of geometrical scaling can be seen in nucleus-nucleus…
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 use an almost model-independent analytical parameterization for $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ elastic scattering data to analyze the eikonal, profile, and inelastic overlap functions in the impact parameter space. Error propagation in the fit…
We study the impact parameter dependence of inelasticity in the framework of an updated geometrical model for multiplicity distribution. A formula in which the inelasticity is related to the eikonal is obtained. This framework permits a…
After introducing the concept of geometrical scaling (GS) on the example of deep inelastic ep scattering, we show that GS is also present in the p_T spectra measured by the LHC. We discuss simple phenomenological signatures of GS and its…
In this work, we investigate the scaling behavior of the entropy associated with the charged hadron multiplicity distribution P(N) in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. We show that the growth of this entropic indicator as a function of…

Analyzing recent ALICE data on inelastic pp scattering at the LHC energies we show that charged particle distributions exhibit geometrical scaling (GS). We show also that the inelastic cross-section is scaling as well and that in this case…
We comment on phase selection of the scattering amplitude, emphasizing that the elastic overlap function should have a central impact parameter profile at high energies and highlighting the role of the reflective scattering mode at the LHC…
We discuss basic concepts and properties of diffractive phenomena in soft hadron collisions and in deep-inelastic scattering at low Bjorken-x. The paper is not a review of the rapidly developing field but presents an attempt to show in…
In this note we discuss emergence of geometrical scaling (firstly proposed for deep inelastic collisions) in pp scattering at the LHC and in heavy ion collisions at RHIC. After discussing general properties of geometrical scaling (GS) we…
The presence of geometric scaling within the $p_T$ spectra of produced hadrons at high energy $pp$ collisions using small-$x$ $k_T$-factorization is investigated. It is proposed a phenomenological parameterization for the unintegrated gluon…
Atomic-scale mapping of the chemical elements in materials is now possible using aberration-corrected electron microscopes but delocalization and multiple scattering can confound image interpretation. Here we report atomic-resolution…
All contemporary phenomenological models of elastic hadronic scattering have been based on the assumption of validity of optical theorem that was overtaken from optics. It has been stated that it may be proven in particle physics. However,…

Gluon distributions of colliding hadrons saturate as a result of the non-linear evolution equations of QCD. As a consequence there exists the so called saturation momentum, which is related to the gluon density per unit rapidity per…
