High Energy pp Elastic Scattering in Condensate Enclosed Chiral Bag Model and TOTEM Elastic Measurements at LHC at 7 TeV

Abstract

We study high energy $\mathrm{pp}$ and $\bar{\mathrm{p}}\mathrm{p}$ elastic scattering in the TeV region based on an effective field theory model of the proton. We phenomenologically investigate the main processes underlying elastic scattering and quantitatively describe the measured elastic d$\sigma$/dt at energies 7.0 TeV (LHC $\mathrm{pp}$), 1.96 TeV (Tevatron $\bar{\mathrm{p}}\mathrm{p}$), and 0.630 TeV (SPS $\bar{\mathrm{p}}\mathrm{p}$). Finally, we give our prediction for $\mathrm{pp}$ elastic d$\sigma$/dt at 14 TeV that will be measured by the TOTEM Collaboration.
