Title: Elastic and inclusive proton--proton scattering with bare-Pomeron intercept above 1

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

An analysis of high-energy proton--proton scattering with bare-Pomeron intercept above 1 is presented. By use of a value ..cap alpha../sub P/(0) = 1.06, determined by the energy dependence of the pp total cross section, a triple-Regge analysis of the inclusive process pp ..-->.. pX is carried out and compared with the results of a more conventional analysis with ..cap alpha../sub P/(0) = 1. The resulting triple-Regge couplings are used in calculating the second-order corrections to the bare Pomeron in the bare perturbation expansion of Reggeon field theory. We find that such an approach can correctly describe the existing high-energy pp total cross-section, elastic-, and inclusive-scattering data. (AIP)
