Energy evolution of the large-t elastic scattering and its correlation with multiparticle production

arXiv:1301.0398 · doi:10.1063/1.4802136

Abstract

It is emphasized that the collective dynamics associated with color confinement is dominating over a point-like mechanism related to a scattering of the proton constituents at the currently available values of the momentum transferred in proton elastic scattering at the LHC. Deep--elastic scattering and its role in the dissimilation of the absorptive and reflective asymptotic scattering mechanisms are discussed with emphasis on the experimental signatures associated with the multiparticle production processes.
