Several LHC experiments exploit the high acceptance in the forward region. Most of them use the possibility of measuring the intact proton in an elastic event. This approach can enhance the purity of selecting jet-gap-jet events, leading to…
Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken in the Standard Model by the mass and electric charge of the up and down quarks. These effects represent a perturbation of hadronic amplitudes at the percent level. Although these contributions are…
A problem of amplitude reconstruction in terms of the given angular distribution is considered. Solution of this problem is not unique. A class of amplitudes, correspondent to one and the same angular distribution, forms a region in…
Elastic proton-proton collisions represent probably the greatest ensemble of available measured data, the analysis of which may provide large amount of new physical results concerning fundamental particles. It is, however, necessary to…
Modern experiments with heavy ion-leptons collisions open the possibility to measure the deviation of cross section of small angles electron(positron)-ion elastic scattering from the Rutherford formula due to multiple virtual photons…
This is a cursory review of diffractive studies ( mostly elastic scattering)at the LHC with physical interpretation of the experimental data and comments to related problems of theory.
Using newly calculated electromagnetic corrections, we have made a phase shift analysis of experimental data on pi+/- p elastic scattering up to 100 MeV, assuming the effective hadronic interaction to be isospin invariant. The output…
The functional dependence of the high-energy observables of total cross section and slope parameter on the sizes of the colliding hadrons predicted by the model of the stochastic vacuum and the corresponding relations used in the geometric…
The problems linked with the extraction of the basic parameters of the hadron elastic scattering amplitude at the LHC are explored. It is shown that one should take into account the saturation regime which will lead to new effects at the…
We study the coherent photoproduction of pseudoscalar mesons---particularly of neutral pions---placing special emphasis on the various sources that put into question earlier nonrelativistic-impulse-approximation calculations. These include:…
We consider the scattering of fermions off antifermions with spin 1/2 and 3/2. Starting from helicity partial-wave scattering amplitudes we derive transformations that eliminate all kinematical constraints. Such amplitudes are expected to…
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…
The possibility to constrain the meson distribution amplitude from the transitions of virtual photons to pseudoscalar mesons is investigated. It is shown that for a large range in the two photon virtualities the transition form factors are…
Consideration is given to the methods of gaining experimental data on the substances which constitute a part of multicomponent samples to be measured. The methods are applicable to the samples comprising an arbitrary number of components;…
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…
Excited hadrons are seen as resonances in the scattering of lighter stable hadrons like $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$. Many decay into multiple final states necessitating coupled-channel analyses. Recently it has become possible to obtain…
We present a dispersive analysis of the decay amplitude for $\eta'\to\eta\pi\pi$ that is based on the fundamental principles of analyticity and unitarity. In this framework, final-state interactions are fully taken into account. Our…
In truncated partial-wave analysis, one fits observables that are bilinear in the amplitudes rather than the amplitudes themselves. Truncation is therefore not merely a restriction of the amplitude basis, but of the bilinear interference…
We examine the uncertainties involved in the off-mass-shell extrapolation of the $K\rightarrow \pi\pi$ decay amplitude with emphasis on those aspects that have so far been overlooked or ignored. Among them are initial-state interactions,…
The eikonal profile function $J(b)$ obtained from the Model of the Stochastic Vacuum is parametrized in a form suitable for comparison with experiment. The amplitude and the extended profile function (including imaginary and real parts) are…
