The Real Extended Bialas-Bzdak (ReBB) model is shown here to describe, in the 0.37 ≤ −t ≤ 1.2 GeV 2 region, the proton-proton elastic differential cross section data published by the TOTEM Collaboration at LHC at √ s = 8 TeV colliding energy. In this kinematic range, corresponding to the diffractive minimum-maximum region, a modeldependent Odderon signal higher than 18 σ is obtained by comparing the ReBB model prediction for the p p elastic differential cross section to this TOTEM measured pp elastic differential cross section data at 8 TeV. However, when combining this signal with the Odderon signals from the ReBB model in the 0.37 ≤ −t ≤ 1.2 GeV 2 four-momentumtransfer range at √ s = 1.96, 2.76 and 7 TeV, it turns out that the combined significance is dominated not by the new 8 TeV but by that of earlier 7 TeV TOTEM data, that carry an even larger Odderon effect. Thus, in any practical terms, within the framework of the ReBB model, the Odderon signal in the limited 0.37 ≤ −t ≤ 1.2 GeV 2 and 1.96 ≤ √ s ≤ 8 TeV kinematic region is not a probability, but a certainty. We show also that the H(x) version of the ReBB model works reasonably well at 8 TeV in the 0.37 ≤ −t ≤ 0.97 GeV 2 region.Keywords elastic proton-proton scattering • ReBB model • H(x) scaling • Odderon
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
