Title: Elastic pp-bar and pp scattering up to. sqrt. s = 546 GeV and the flavored perturbative Reggeon field theory

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

We show that the perturbative Reggeon field theory (RFT) with flavoring corrections added reproduces the pp and pp-bar differential cross sections from Fermilab to the CERN SPS collider (Spp-bar S). This completes a long program of phenomenology which is now capable of providing a unified framework for soft hadronic scattering at current energies. Our scenario of data being influenced by finite scales at least up to ..sqrt..s = 546 GeV is compatible with the truly asymptotic limit being described by the critical RFT scaling laws.
