A sum rule for elastic scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
A sum rule is derived for elastic scattering of hadrons at high energies which is in good agreement with experimental data on pp̄ available upto the maximum energy √ s = 2TeV . Physically, our sum rule reflects the way unitarity correlates and limits how large the elastic amplitude can be as a function of energy to how fast it decreases as a function of the momentum transfer. The universality of our result is justified through our earlier result on equipartition of quark and glue momenta obtained from the virial theorem for massless quarks and the Wilson conjecture

Quark-Hadron Duality in Neutrino Scattering
We present a phenomenological model of the quark-hadron transition in neutrino-nucleon scattering. Using recently extracted weak nucleon transition form factors, we investigate the extent to which local and global quark-hadron duality is applicable in the neutrino F1, F2 and F3 structure functions, and contrast this with duality in electron scattering. Our findings suggest that duality works re...
متن کاملInequality for Electron and Muon Scattering from Nucleons
Equation (1) has the classic structure of a sum rule except for the factor of 2 mismatch. It occurs because half of the point cross section comes from the isoscalar current, about (3) E and E' are incident and final laboratory energies of the electron, 8 the scattering angle, and q'=4EE'sin'(8/2). o is the total (elastic + inelastic) electron-proton cross section and cr &S the cross-section fro...
متن کاملPrecision Measurement of Longitudinal and Transverse Response Functions of Quasi-Elastic Electron Scattering in the Momentum Transfer
We propose to make a precision measurement of inclusive electron scattering cross sections in the quasi-elastic region for a wide range of momentum transfers for He, C, Fe and Pb. We will extract the longitudinal and transverse response functions in the momentum transfer range 0.55 GeV/c ≤ |q| ≤ 0.9 GeV/c with a precision of a few percent improving significantly on the precision of previous mea...
متن کاملOutline of Neutron Scattering Formalism
Neutron scattering formalism is briefly surveyed. Topics touched upon include coherent and incoherent scattering, bound and free cross-sections, the Van Hove formalism, magnetic scattering, elastic scattering, the static approximation, sum rules, small angle scattering, inelastic scattering, thermal diffuse scattering, quasielastic scattering, and neutron optics.
متن کاملThe Transition to Perturbative QCD in Compton Scattering
We investigate the transition to perturbative QCD in Compton processes, by concentrating on the specific reactions πγ → πγ and pion photoproduction at moderate energy scales. New sum rules for each of the helicities involved in the scattering and the cross section are given, together with a detailed stability analysis. Our results are then compared with those derived from higher-power factoriza...
