Title: Threshold Effects of Diffractive Production

Abstract

In a quite general Feynman-diagram model, diffractively produced inelastic states at high energies lead to a decrease in the total cross section below and above the threshold for the process. Nondiffractive channels produce the opposite effect. Asymptotically this agrees with the eikonal approach and the Gribov Reggeon calculus. Thus one can understand the broad dip in the pp total cross section at intermediate energies and, if the triple Pomeron decouples, the resultant intersecting-storage-rings rise.

Threshold Effects of Diffractive Production

Journal Article Blankenbecler, R. - Physical Review Letters

In a quite general Feynmam-diagram model, diffractively produced inelastic states at high emergies lead to a decrease in the total cross section below and above the threshold for the process. Nondiffractive channels produce the opposite effect. Asymptotically this agrees with the eikonal approach and the Gribov Reggeon calculus. Thus one can understand the broad dip in the pp total cross section at intermediate energies and, if the triple Pomeron descouples, the resultant intersecting-storage-rings rise.

Increasing Cross Sections, Diffractive Excitation, and the Triple-Pomeron Coupling

Journal Article Capella, A. ; Chen, Min -Shih - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Using model-independent sum rules, it is argued that the sharp peak near the kinematical boundary observed in some inclusive spectra and the increase of total cross sections are due to the same mechanism. Both phenomena are quantitatively described in proton-proton scattering, in terms of diffractive excitation into high-mass states with a triple-Pomeron coupling. This coupling is then incorporated in a two-component model. In this way we obtain a total inelastic proton-proton cross section which agrees with the data from s = 30 to 3000 GeV². The "break" in the elastic differential cross section at small |t| is related to themore »« less

Total and diffractive cross sections in enhanced Pomeron scheme

Journal Article Ostapchenko, S ; D. V. Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, Moscow State University, 119992 Moscow - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

For the first time, a systematic analysis of the high energy behavior of total and diffractive proton-proton cross sections is performed within the Reggeon field theory framework, based on the resummation of all significant contributions of enhanced Pomeron diagrams to all orders with respect to the triple-Pomeron coupling. The importance of different classes of enhanced graphs is investigated, and it is demonstrated that absorptive corrections due to 'net'-like enhanced diagrams and due to Pomeron 'loops' are both significant and none of those classes can be neglected at high energies.

Is absorption a consequence of unitarity

Journal Article Sachrajda, C T ; Blankenbecler, R - Phys. Rev., D, v. 12, no. 6, pp. 1754-1764

Absorptive corrections to scattering and production in a family of explicitly unitary models are studied. We find that in a particular model in which quantum-number constraints are ignored, all the results concerning absorptive corrections found in the Reggeon calculus model of Abramovskii, Kancheli, and Gribov are reproduced. In extended models, however, the effects due to quantum numbers and/or alternative unitarization schemes are shown to have a significant effect on the form of absorptive corrections. In particular, explicitly unitary models are given in which (i) the absorptive corrections enhance all cross sections, and (ii) isospin is introduced in a simple waymore »« less

Exclusive pp{yields}pp{pi}{sup +{pi}-} reaction: From the threshold to LHC

Journal Article Lebiedowicz, P ; Szczurek, A ; Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN, PL-31-342 Cracow - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We evaluate differential distributions for the four-body pp{yields}pp{pi}{sup +{pi}-} (and pp{yields}pp{pi}{sup +{pi}-}) reaction which constitutes an irreducible background to three-body processes pp{yields}ppM, where M are a broad resonances in the {pi}{sup +{pi}-} channel, e.g., M={sigma}, {rho}{sup 0}, f{sub 0}(980), f{sub 2}(1275), f{sub 0}(1500). We include both double-diffractive contribution (both Pomeron and Reggeon exchanges) as well as pion-pion rescattering contribution. The first process dominates at higher energies and small pion-pion invariant masses while the second becomes important at lower energies and higher pion-pion invariant masses. The amplitude(s) is(are) calculated in the Regge approach. We compare our results with measured cross sectionsmore »« less
