elastic proton-proton scattering, diffractive scattering, single-diffractive dissociation, resonances, pomeron, odderon, “soft” processesAbstract
Structures in elastic proton–proton scattering include the low-|t| non-exponential behavior, as well as a diffractive minimum followed by a maximum in the |t|-distribution. The underlying physics of these structures and the possibility of a similar minimum–maximum pattern appearing in the |t|-distribution of single-diffractive scattering of protons are discussed. A simple model that describes low-mass resonances in the M2-distribution of single-diffractive protonproton scattering is also presented.
