Effect of pp-cut contribution on the diffraction cone slope

The author considers the effect of the cut contribution including enhanced ones on the diffraction cone slope: b(E, t)=1/tln ((d sigma /dt)/(d sigma /dt)/sub t=0/) approximately=b/sub 0/(E)+tb/sub 0/'(E) in the region of small mod t mod <or approximately=1/ alpha /sub P/'ln E and of very high energies E=E/sub lab/. The question is of great interest in connection with the CERN data on b(E, t) for pp-scattering at E approximately 10/sup 3/ GeV. (7 refs)

On the total cross sections and diffraction cone slope

The authors compare the theoretical total cross-sections of pp scattering with the experimental ones got by analyzing the data obtained at CERN and Serpukhov from 10 GeV upwards

Total cross sections and cone slope-theory and experiment

The previously presented (1969-1970) description of all the known experimental data on pi N, KN, and NN-NN interactions has shown that there exists a single system of parameters that give good agreement with experiment (without enhanced diagrams). The present article compares the theory, given the same parameters, with the new data of the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) and CERN on the values sigma /sup tot/ and on the slopes b/sub 0/=b/sub 0/(E) of the pp- scattering cone.
