Shukla, S

The developments in high energy pp and p{bar p} elastic scattering in the last 30 years are summarized. The Regge pole model and the geometrical models are reviewed and their agreement with experimental data discussed. The experimental method for measuring the total cross section and the ratio of the real to the imaginary part of the forward elastic scattering amplitude, p, is described. The asymptotic behavior of the total cross section at high energy is discussed in the light of the new results on p{bar p} elastic scattering at {radical}s=1.8 TeV. Predictions from geometrical models and Regge phenomenology are compared with experimental data. The 2-gluon model of the Pomeron by Low and Nussinov is discussed. Future measurements on elastic pp and p{bar p} elastic scattering are discussed.
