Energy dependence of slope parameter in elastic nucleon-nucleon scattering

Abstract

The study of slope parameter is presented for elastic proton-proton and antiproton-proton scattering with taking into account the resent experimental data at high energies. The expanded logarithmic approximations allow the description of the experimental slopes in all available energy range reasonably. Accounting for the LHC results leads to the dramatic change of behavior of the quadratic in logarithm approximation at high energies and to the closer trends for all fitting functions under study in comparison with the analysis at collision energies up to the 200 GeV. The estimations of the asymptotic shrinkage parameter ${\alpha }_{\mathcal{P}}^{\prime }$ are discussed. Predictions for diffraction slope parameter are obtained for some proton-proton and antiproton-proton facilities.
