Sensitivity of the photon-induced processes to the proton radius
Nikhil Krishna, Mariola Klusek-Gawenda, Rafal Staszewski
We study the exclusive production of dileptons in proton--proton collisions as a probe of the proton radius. Using a dipole form factor model, we compare the conventional choice of…

Extraction of low-mass diffractive cross section from the discrepancy between ATLAS and TOTEM total cross sections
Per Grafström, RafaŠStaszewski
At the LHC, two experiments - ATLAS and TOTEM - measure the total proton-proton cross section. Unfortunately, a significant discrepancy, persisting at different collision energies,…
