The real part of the elastic-scattering amplitude at the $$S\bar ppS$$ and predictions at LHC and SSCand predictions at LHC and SSC
A precise measurement of\(\bar pp\) elastic scattering in the Coulomb strong-interaction interference region was performed at the CERN\(S\bar ppS\) Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 541 GeV. The ratio of the real-to-imaginary part of the forward elastic-scattering amplitude was found to be ρ=0.135±0.015. The slope of the exponential fall-off of the strong-interaction part was also measured to beb=15.5±0.1 GeV−2. Using this new result, an overall fit to the data on the total cross-section and on the real part for\(\bar pp\) and pp was performed using dispersion relations. Numerical predictions are presented for total cross-sections at LHC and SSC energies.
The UA4/2 experiment at the CERN SpS collider
Abstract The UA4/2 experiment performed at CERN to measure the ratio of the real to the imaginary part of the forward elastic scattering amplitude is described. The accent is placed on the improvements with respect to the previous UA4 experiment, especially on the much improved design of the high-β insertion and a high-resolution, highly multiplexed scintillating fiber tracking detector.
