Analytic parametrizations of the non-perturbative Pomeron and QCD-inspired models
We consider several classes of analytic parametrizations of hadronic
scattering amplitudes, and compare their predictions to all available forward
data (proton- proton, antiproton-proton, pion-proton, kaon-proton,
photon-proton, photon- photon, sigma-proton). Although these parametrizations
are very close for energy larger than 9 GeV, it turns out that they differ
markedly at low energy, where a universal Pomeron term ~(ln s)**2 enables one
to extend the fit down to 4 GeV.Comment: 11 pages, 2 tables, Presented at the 9th Blois Workshop on Elastic

New measures of the quality and of the reliability of fits applied to forward hadronic data at t=0
We develop five new statistical measures of the quality of fits, which we
combine with the usual confidence level to determine the models which fit best
all available data for total cross sections and for the real part of the
forward hadronic amplitude.Comment: 7 pages, presented by J.R. Cudell on behalf of the COMPETE

Analytic Amplitude Models for Forward Scattering
We report on fits of a large class of analytic amplitude models for forward
scattering against the comprehensive data for all available reactions. To
differentiate the goodness of the fits of many possible parametrizations to a
large sample of data, we developed and used a set of quantitative indicators
measuring statistical quality of the fits over and beyond the typical criterion
of the . These indicators favor models with a universal
Pomeron term, which enables one to extend the fit down to GeV.Comment: 13 pages, COMPETE Collaboration, talk presented at the 9th

Forward observables at RHIC, the Tevatron run II and the LHC
We present predictions on the total cross sections and on the ratio of the
real part to the imaginary part of the elastic amplitude (rho parameter) for
present and future pp and pbar p colliders, and on total cross sections for
gamma p -> hadrons at cosmic-ray energies and for gamma gamma -> hadrons up to
sqrt(s)=1 TeV.
These predictions are based on a study of many possible analytic
parametrisations and invoke the current hadronic dataset at t=0. The
uncertainties on total cross sections, including the systematic theoretical
errors, reach 1% at RHIC, 3% at the Tevatron, and 10% at the LHC, whereas those
on the rho parameter are respectively 10%, 17%, and 26%.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, presented at the Second International

Benchmarks for the Forward Observables at RHIC, the Tevatron-run II and the LHC
We present predictions on the total cross sections and on the ratio of the
real part to the imaginary part of the elastic amplitude (rho parameter) for
present and future pp and pbar p colliders, and on total cross sections for
gamma p -> hadrons at cosmic-ray energies and for gamma gamma-> hadrons up to
sqrt{s}=1 TeV. These predictions are based on an extensive study of possible
analytic parametrisations invoking the biggest hadronic dataset available at
t=0. The uncertainties on total cross sections, including the systematic errors
due to contradictory data points from FNAL, can reach 1.9% at RHIC, 3.1% at the
Tevatron, and 4.8% at the LHC, whereas those on the rho parameter are
respectively 5.4%, 5.2%, and 5.4%.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, 4 tables, RevTeX
Precise measurement of and between 1.84 and 3.72 GeV at the KEDR detector
The present work continues a series of the KEDR measurements of the value
that started in 2010 at the VEPP-4M collider. By combining new data
with our previous results in this energy range we measured the values of
and at nine center-of-mass energies between 3.08 and 3.72
GeV. The total accuracy is about or better than at most of energy
points with a systematic uncertainty of about . Together with the
previous precise measurement at KEDR in the energy range 1.84-3.05 GeV, it
constitutes the most detailed high-precision measurement near the
charmonium production threshold.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1610.02827 and substantial

Measurement of the branching fraction of at KEDR
We present the study of the decay . The results
are based on of 5.2 million events collected by the KEDR detector at
VEPP-4M collider. The branching fraction is measured to be
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second one
is systematic. This is the most precise single measurement of this quantity at
the moment
