The present experimental data of elastic pp scattering suggest that the asymptopia in the Chou-Yang picture for elastic hadron-hadron diffraction scattering may be nearly realized in the energy region of the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron and the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, ͱsϭ0.5-1.8 TeV. The analysis gives information on the root mean square radius of the gluon distribution in the proton ( r g ϵ͗r gluon 2 ͘ p 1/2 ), which is estimated to be 0.87Շ r g Շ0.95 fm. ͓S0556-2821͑98͒01003-0͔
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.
