Two-Pomeron eikonal approximation for the high-energy EDS of nucleons

Abstract

It is demonstrated that the elastic diffractive scattering of nucleons at collision energies higher than 540 GeV and transferred momenta lower than 2 GeV, including the Coulomb-nuclear interference region, can be described in the framework of a very simple Regge-eikonal model where the eikonal is just a sum of two supercritical Regge pole terms. The predictive value of the proposed approximation is verified.
