Elastic-scattering amplitudes att=0

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

A study is made of the K

and π

elastic-scattering amplitudes in the forward direction and a comparison is made with the ISR pp total cross-section data. For the high-energy part of the amplitudes a very simple phenomenological description is given, based on duality andSU 3 symmetry. Good agreement with dispersion relations is obtained when the pomeron contribution at low energy is taken from experimental data. The pomeron contributions to the π

, K

and pp total cross-sections are shown to be equal up to a normalization constant when the energy is properly scaled for each contribution. The difference between the energy scale factors in baryon-baryon scattering and meson-baryon scattering is larger than may be expected from an additive quark model. It is predicted that the proportional increase of\(\sigma _{K^ + p} \) will be the same as for σpp at energies which are 6÷10 times smaller.

Riassunto

Si studiano le ampiezze dei processi di scattering elastico K

e π

nella direzoine in avanti e si confrontano con i dati delle sezioni d’urto totali p-p negli ISR. Per la parte di alta energia delle ampiezze si da una descrizione fenomenologica molto semplice, basata sulla dualità e sulla simmetriaSU 3. Si trova un buon accordo con le relazioni di dispersione quando ricava dai dati sperimentali il contributo del pomerone. I contributi del pomerone alle sezioni d’urto totali π

, K{

e pp si vede che sono uguali a meno di una costante di normalizzazione qualora per ogni contributo si abbia una appropriata scala di energia. La differenza tra i fattori di scala per lo scattering barione-barione e lo scattering mesone-barione è più grande di quanto ci si aspetterebbe da un modello additivo a quark. Si prevede un incremento proporzionale di\(\sigma _{K^ + p} \) uguale a quello di σpp per energia 6–10 volte inferiori.
