Note on the Impact Parameter Analysis of High Energy Proton Proton Collisions ∗ )

چکیده
Following a prior analysis of measured pp elastic differential cross sections, the impact parameter representation in terms of profile functions is calculated from two different parametrizations of single diffractive dissociation data. The derivative of this quantity with respect to the collision energy squared s measures the growth rate of the reaction’s blackness. Its distribution in impact parameter space allows detailed insight into the growth pattern of the total diffractive cross section and the approaching unitarity limit. Comparing the results with the elastic case, the different mechanisms of unitarization of two parametrizations are discussed.

Using an eikonal analysis, we simultaneously fit a QCD-inspired parameterization of all accelerator data on forward proton-proton and antiproton-proton scattering amplitudes, together with cosmic ray data (using Glauber theory), to predict proton–air and proton-proton cross sections at energies near √ s ≈ 30 TeV. The pair cosmic ray measurements greatly reduce the errors in the high energy prot...

متن کاملThe Comparison of the shares of stopping power in a soft tissue-equivalent material
Introduction: Proton therapy is a type of radiation treatment that it uses protons to treat cancer. Because of the protons’ unique ability to distribute the radiation dose more directly to the tumor, it minimizes the damage to nearby healthy tissues. The rate of energy loss by the ion in the target is called stopping power. The total stopping power is sum nuclear and electroni...
متن کاملDistribution of multiple scatterings in proton-nucleus collisions at high energy
We consider proton-nucleus collisions at high energy in the Color Glass Condensate framework, and extract from the gluon production crosssection the probabilities of having a definite number of multiple scatterings in the nucleus. Various properties of the distribution of the number of multiple scatterings are studied, and we conclude that events in which the momentum of a hard jet is compensat...
