abstract

The proton-proton elastic differential cross section ${\rm d}\sigma/{\rm d}t$ has been measured by the TOTEM experiment at $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ TeV energy with $\beta^{*}=11$ m beam optics. The Roman Pots were inserted to 13 times the transverse beam size from the beam, which allowed to measure the differential cross-section of elastic scattering in a range of the squared four-momentum transfer ($|t|$) from $0.36$ GeV$^{2}$ to $0.74$ GeV$^{2}$. The differential cross-section can be described with an exponential in the $|t|$-range between $0.36$ GeV$^{2}$ and $0.54$ GeV$^{2}$, followed by a diffractive minimum (dip) at $|t_{\rm dip}| = 0.61 \pm 0.03$ GeV$^{2}$ and a subsequent maximum (bump). The ratio of the ${\rm d}\sigma/{\rm d}t$ at the bump and at the dip is $1.7\pm 0.2$. When compared to the $\rm p\bar{p}$ measurement of the D0 experiment at $\sqrt s = 1.96$ TeV, a significant difference can be observed. Under the condition that the effects due to the energy difference between TOTEM and D0 can be neglected, the result provides evidence for a colourless 3-gluon bound state exchange in the $t$-channel of the proton-proton elastic scattering.

  1. Factorization of elastic, single, and double diffractive $pp$ scattering

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    SCET with Glauber operators factorizes elastic/single/double diffractive pp scattering, proving non-universality of hadronic functions versus ep while rapidity anomalous dimensions remain universal.

  2. Odderon exchange in high-energy $K^0_S$ regeneration at the LHC

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0

    A feasibility study showing LHC neutral-kaon regeneration could probe the Odderon only with a 1 km-scale beamline, 10^4 kaon decays, and one to two orders of magnitude neutron-background suppression.

  3. Geometric Scaling and the Odderon

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A geometric-scaling model with a crossing-odd amplitude and a maximal-Odderon correction can reproduce low-energy rho data and accommodate the TOTEM 13 TeV rho_pp measurement.

  4. Searching for odderon in exclusive reactions: $p p \to p p p {\bar p}$, $p p \to p p \phi \phi$ and $p p \to p p \phi$

    hep-ph 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Sketches formalisms for pp → ppp p-bar, pp → pp ϕϕ and pp → pp ϕ to search for odderon exchange and estimates LHC signals from lower-energy WA102 data.
