Proton-proton elastic scattering at high-energies

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The behaviour of the high-energy cross-section for protonproton elastic scattering as a function of proton energy and angle of emission is discussed. While small angle scattering is due to diffraction, large angle scattering seems the result of a statistical process. Several theoretical and experimental questions raised by these results are discussed in the concluding section.

Riassunto

Si discute il comportamento osservato per lo scattering elastico protone-protone ad energie comprese fra 10 e 32 GeV. Lo scattering a piccoli angoli è dovuto principalmente a diffrazione ; quello a grandi angoli sembra invece essere il prodotto di un processo statistico. Vengono quindi esaminati vari problemi teorici e sperimentali suggeriti dai risultati sopra descritti.
