Hadronic Total Cross-sections Through Soft Gluon Summation in Impact Parameter Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Bloch-Nordsieck model for the parton distribution of hadrons in impact parameter space, constructed using soft gluon summation, is investigated in detail. Its dependence upon the infrared structure of the strong coupling constant αs is discussed, both for finite as well as singular, but integrable, αs. The formalism is applied to the prediction of total proton-proton and proton-antiproton cross-sections, where screening, due to soft gluon emission from the initial valence quarks, becomes evident.

متن کاملTotal Photonic and Hadronic Cross - sections 1
We discuss total cross-sections within the context of the QCD calculable mini-jet model, highlighting its successes and failures. In particular we show its description of γγ → hadrons and compare it with OPAL and L3 data. We extrapolate this result to γ p total cross-sections and propose a phenomenological ansätz for virtual photon cross-sections. We point out that the good agreement with data ...

متن کامل0 Soft QCD Dynamics of Elastic Scattering in Impact Parameter Representation
The elastic hadronic amplitude is calculated using the nonperturbative light-cone dipole representation for gluon bremsstrahlung. The data for large mass diffraction demand a two-scale structure of light hadrons: the gluon clouds of the valence quarks are much smaller (∼ 0.3 f m) than the hadronic size. The presence of the two scales unavoidably leads to a specific form for the total hadronic c...
متن کاملAspects of con nement in total cross sections through Bloch Nordsieck soft gluon summation
An impact parameter representation for soft gluon radiation has been developed to obtain both the initial decrease in pp as well as the subsequent rise of the total cross section tot for pp and p p The rapid rise from the perturbative jets is tamed into the experimentally observed mild increase by soft gluon emission Here we focus on the role played by con nement in particular the need for a si...
