SHRINKING AND NON-SHRINKING DIFFRACTION PEAKS

Journal Article · · Phys. Letters
OSTI ID:4646659
Important theoretical differences between the highenergy limits of the amplitudes for proton-proton scattering and proton-antiproton scattering are outlined. These differences are discussed in connection with the asymprotic forms of pi /sup plus or minus /-p scattering. All reactions are considered within the framework of dispersion theory in which the high-energy limits are determined by the singularities in the complex angular momentum planes of the crossed reactions pp- yields pp and pi /sup +/ pi /sup -/ yields pp, respectively. It is shown that a non-shrinking diffraction peak should be expected in connection with a total cross section that is slowly decreasing toward a constant value, whereas a shrinking peak is associated with an essentially constant total cross section.
