Fine structure of the diffraction cone: from ISR to the LHC
D. A. Fagundes, L. Jenkovszky, E. Q. Miranda +2
Following earlier findings, we argue that the low- structure in the elastic diffractive cone, recently reported by the TOTEM Collaboration at TeV, is a consequence of the…
Exploring central opacity and asymptotic scenarios in elastic hadron scattering
D. A. Fagundes, M. J. Menon, P. V. R. G. Silva
In the absence of a global description of the experimental data on elastic and soft diffractive scattering from the first principles of QCD, model-independent analyses may provide…
Updating an empirical analysis on the proton's central opacity and asymptotia
D. A. Fagundes, M. J. Menon, P. V. R. G. Silva
We present an updated empirical analysis on the ratio of the elastic (integrated) to the total cross section in the c.m. energy interval from 5 GeV to 8 TeV. As in a previous work,…
Soft edge of hadron scattering and mini-jet models for the total and inelastic pp cross-sections at LHC and beyond
D. A. Fagundes, A. Grau, G. Pancheri +2
We show that the onset and rise of QCD mini-jets provide the dynamical mechanism behind the appearance of a soft edge in pp collisions around ISR energies and thus such a soft edge…
