The Role of Screening Corrections in High Energy Photoproduction

Abstract

The role of screening corrections, calculated using the eikonal model, is discussed in the context of soft photoproduction. We present a comprehensive calculation considering the total,elastic and diffractive cross sections jointly. We examine the differences between our results and those obtained from the supercritical Pomeron-Reggeon model with no unitarity corrections.
