Proton-antiproton elastic scattering was measured at the center-of-mass energy s=546 GeV in the four-momentum transfer range 0.45⩽−⩽1.55GeV2. The shape of the t-distribution is quite different from that observed in proton-proton scattering at the ISR. Rather than a dip-bump structure, a kink is present at − ≈0.9GeV2 followed by a shoulder. The cross section at the second maximum is more than one order of magnitude higher than at the ISR
The proton-antiproton total cross section was measured at the CM energy √s = 546 GeV. The result is σtot = 61.9± 1.5 mb. The ratio of the elastic to the total cross section is σeℓ/σtot = 0.215±0.005. A comparison to the lower energy data shows that the increase of the total cross section with energy is very close to a log2s behaviour
Measurements of pp-+n + n m +X at Vs = 44 and 62 GeV are compared. The data are taken under identical conditions utilizing clean proton-proton collisions from the CERN intersecting storage rings and confirm scaling to 5%. The observed JU + JT yield is a factor of 1.6 ± 0.2 larger than estimated from a simple parton model but is consistent with QCD. The p T dependence of the muon pairs agrees well with expectations from QCD.
Proton-antiproton elastic scattering was measured at the CM energy √s = 546 GeV in the four-momentum transfer range 0.03<−t<0.32GeV2 For −<0.15GeV2 the data are well described by a simple exponential form exp(bt) with slope parameter b=15.2±0.2GeV−2. This value is significantly larger than the one measured in the region 0.21<−t<0.50 GeV2
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
