相关论文: The interaction region of high energy protons
We show that the interaction region of colliding protons looks completely absorptive (black) at the impact parameters up to 0.4 - 0.5 fm at the LHC energy 7 TeV. It is governed by the ratio of the elastic diffraction peak slope to the total…
Experimental data on proton-proton interactions in high energy collisions show quite a special and unexpected behaviour of the proportion of elastic scattering compared to inelastic processes with increasing energy. It decreases at the…
It is shown that the regime of pp-interactions at 7 TeV is a critical one. The LHC data about elastic pp-scattering at 7 and 8 TeV are used to get some information about both elastic and inelastic profiles of pp-collisions. They are…
New experimental data about proton-proton collisions obtained atthe LHC allow to widen strongly the energy interval where one gets some knowledge about the structure of their interaction region. Using the unitarity relation in combination…
Surprisingly enough, the ratio of elastic to inelastic cross sections of proton interactions increases with energy in the interval correspond- ing to ISR - LHC (i.e. from 10 GeV to 10 TeV). That leads to special features of their spatial…
The spatial distribution of interactions in high energy collisions of heavy nuclei is discussed using the wounded nucleon, binary collision, hard sphere, and colliding disk parameterizations of interaction densities. The mean radius, its…
The proton-proton collision energy at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been 7, 8 and 13 TeV recently with the goal of reaching to 14 TeV which is the maximum capacity of the LHC. However, there is still more physics yet to be explored and…
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…
Ultraperipheral collisions at collider energies are a useful tool to study photon-hadron (proton/nucleus) and photon-photon interactions in a hitherto unexplored energy regime. Theoretical tools to study these processes are briefly…
Based on current CERN infrastructure, an electron--proton collider is proposed at a centre-of-mass energy of about 9 TeV. A 7 TeV LHC bunch is used as the proton driver to create a plasma wakefield which then accelerates electrons to…
We propose a parton model of inelastic collisions at transplanckian energies E >> G^{-1/2}, using the gravitons, whose transverse momenta are cut at the Planck scale, as partons. For this purpose we represent the gravitational shock-wave…
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…
The prospect of an ep collider involving an LHC proton beam and a new electron accelerator is discussed. Configurations reaching centre of mass energies a factor of 5 beyond HERA are possible with luminosities of the order of 10^33 cm^-2…
A measurement is presented of the inelastic proton-proton cross section at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. Using the CMS detector at the LHC, the inelastic cross section is measured through two independent methods based on…
Ultra-peripheral collisions of heavy ions and protons are the energy frontier for electromagnetic interactions. Both photonuclear and two-photon collisions are studied, at collision energies that are far higher than are available elsewhere.…
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…
Collisions between nuclei at ultrarelativistic energies produce a color-deconfined plasma that expands explosively and rapidly reverts to the color-confined (hadronic) state. In non-central collisions, the zone of hot matter is transversely…
Proton-proton total and elastic cross sections are considered in the Dakhno-Nikonov eikonal model [L.G. Dakhno, V.A. Nikonov, Eur. Phys. J. A8, 209 (1999)] at ultra-high energies. The model takes into account the quark structure of hadrons…
The recent Auger results suggest that although coincidences of arrival directions with 'nearby' AGN and HiRes discovery of the GZK cut-off indicate protons, the measured longitudinal propagation characteristics indicate heavy nuclei, if the…
The physics at an e+e- linear collider with a center of mass energy of 3-5 TeV is reviewed. The following topics are covered: experimental environment, Higgs physics, supersymmetry, fermion pair-production, WW scattering, extra dimensions,…
