Is the froissart bound saturated in proton-proton scattering?

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

Summary

Proton-proton and antiproton-proton forward data are analysed in the framework of a recently suggested stable unbiased approach to the asymptotic properties of total cross-sections. The resulting picture favours values of the leading logarithmic coefficient α such that 0≤α≲1.

Riassunto

Dati per i processi protone-protone e antiprotone-protone in avanti sono analizzati nello schema di un approccio stabile e generable alle proprietà asintotiche delle sezioni d'urto totali proposto di recente. Il quadro risultante favorisce valori del coefficiente α del termine logaritmico dominante tali che 0≤α≲1.
