A Simple Model for Describing the Minimum Differential Cross-Section of Elastic Proton Scattering on Protons at High Energies

Abstract

Relevance. The most modern and widely applied phenomenological theory, which well describes an entire range of physical characteristics of such processes as elastic and inelastic proton-proton and antiproton-proton scattering at high energies, is the Regge poles method in relativistic theory. Based on a simple amplitude, such as the dipole pomeron, where the pomeron is the Regge pole, the researchers add different terms to it. Using such more complex amplitudes, it is possible to explain well or satisfactorily together not only the experimental data for these reactions obtained at the end of the last century, but also the latest ones obtained at the Large Hadron Collider. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to find numerical values of the amplitude parameters at which the circumferences of the differential cross-sections of elastic proton scattering on protons at high energies are satisfactorily described, and to answer whether the parameters satisfy the obtained constraints. Methods. To find the amplitude parameters, the least squares method is used and minima equations are obtained for the squares of differences between the experimental and theoretical values of these cross-sections. These equations are transcendental, and therefore, they are solved by approximation. Within the framework of successive approximations, a method is selected that ensures fast convergence of the process, namely: the faster descent method or the gradient method. Parameter errors are calculated using a covariance matrix. The statistical acceptability of the model is determined according to the Fischer criterion. Results. Numerical calculations from experimental data of differential cross-sections of elastic pp-scattering were used to find the values of the parameters and the scale multiplier of the amplitude. Differential cross-sections are calculated from the amplitude near the minima. The corresponding graphs of these cross-sections are presented. The coincidence with the experiment is satisfactory in most cases, and in some cases, it is of high quality. A covariance matrix is obtained, from which the errors of the model parameters are found. Under general conditions, restrictions on the found approximate values of parameters are derived. It is shown that they satisfy the constraint. According to the Fischer criterion, the statistical acceptability of the model was verified, which turned out to be positive. Conclusions. The proposed simple amplitude ensures that the Froissard constraint and unitarity are met. It will serve as a seed for constructing more complex amplitudes that will describe a wide range of experiments on proton-proton and antiproton-proton scattering at high energies.

Estimation of the total influence of methods for increasing the line natural load

“…Comparing traditional OHLs with controlled self-compensating OHLs, when regulating the phase shift between systems of circuit voltage vectors in the SCOHL, power is transferred between its circuits, as a result of which, circuits are loaded with different active and reactive powers. This is conditioned by the presence of capacitive and inductive connections between the circuits of the line, due to which, the mutual currents and induced EMF from one circuit change the magnitude of the current and voltage of the adjacent circuit, which is equivalent to the transmission and reception of power (Bence et al 2022). The main distinguishing features of the calculation of technical and economic indicators between traditional OHL and SCOHL are as follows.…”

“…Digital and information modelling technologies are the most important element of achieving success in the competitive struggle, given the realities of the current global economic situation. A distinctive feature of information models should be considered the presentation of any project in a database format, and not in the form of a specific set of files [36][37][38][39]. Recently, the work aimed at the development of modern information modelling systems has been supported at the government level in almost all developed countries of the world.…”

“…The Technology acceptance model, which is the most widely used and valid model for predicting and adopting various technologies in the educational process, was used to survey the acceptance of technologies for the educational process [53], [54], [55], [56]. The results obtained indicate a high level of acceptance of technologies for use in the educational process, and adaptability to the use of technologies, which practically indicates readiness for effective use in education.…”
