Evidence for non-regge behaviour in backward scattering at high-energy

Подтверждение не-Реджеева поведения обратного рассеяния при высоких знергиях

Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

The conventional Regge model, although successful in the intermediate-energy range 2 ≲p L ≲ 15 GeV/c, fails to reproduce the high-energy behaviour of the elastic amplitudes near the backward direction, as revealed by the Serpukhov data on the πn backward cross-section and by the phenomenological study of the l = 1 partial waves nears = 0. These experimental and phenomenological results show that the amplitudes corresponding to the exchange of the nucleon quantum numbers must increase significantly in the high-energy region like sα−1/2 with α ≃ 1. The π+p (or πn) backward elastic cross-sections should then, at high energy, be much larger than expected from the Regge model.

Riassunto

Il modello di Regge convenzionale, sebbene abbia successo nel campo di energie intermedie 2≲p L ≲15 GeV/c, fallisce nel riprodurre il comportamento ad alta energia delle ampiezze elastiche πN verso la direzione all’indietro, come è stato rivelato dai dati di Serpukhov sulla sezione d’urto all’indietro πn e dallo studio fenomenologico delle onde parzialil = 1 di πN pressos = 0. Questi risultati sperimentali e fenomenologici mostrano che le ampiezze corrispondenti allo scambio dei numeri quantici del nucleone devono crescere in modo significativo nella regione delle alte energie come sα−1/2 con α ≃ 1. Le sezioni d’urto elastiche all’indietro di π+p (o πn) dovrebbero quindi, ad alta energia, essere molto maggiori di quanto ci si attende dal modello di Regge.

Реэюме

Обшепринятая модель Редже, несмотра на успехи в промежуточной области знергий 2≲p лад≲15 ГзВ/с, не в состоянии воспроиэвести поведение упругих амплитуд вблиэи направления наэад в области высоких знергий, как было обнаружено в Серпухове при исследовании поперечного сечения рассеяния πn наэад, а также при феноменологическом исследовании парциальных волнl = 1 вблиэиs = 0 для рассеяния. Эти зкспериментальные и феноменологические реэультаты покаэывают, что амплитуды, соответствуюшие обмену с квантовыми числами нуклона, должны сушественно увеличиваться в области больщих знергий, как sα−1/2 сα≃1. При больщих знергиях π+n (или πn) поперечные сечения упругого рассеяния наэад должны быть больще, чем реэультаты, предскаэываемые в модели Редже.
