Characterisation of the dip-bump structure observed in proton–proton elastic scattering at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV

The TOTEM collaboration at the CERN LHC has measured the differential cross-section of elastic proton–proton scattering at √s = 8TeV in the squared four-momentum transfer range 0.2GeV 2 < |t| < 1.9GeV 2 . This interval includes the structure with a diffractive minimum (“dip”) and a secondary maximum (“bump”) that has also been observed at all other LHC energies, where measurements were made. A detailed characterisation of this structure for √s = 8 TeV yields the positions, |t| dip = (0.521 ± 0.007)GeV 2 and |t| bump = (0.695 ± 0.026)GeV 2 , as well as the cross-section values, dσ/dt| dip = (15.1 ± 2.5)μb/GeV 2 and dσ/dt| bump = (29.7 ± 1.8)μb/GeV 2 , for the dip and the bump, respectively.

Elastic differential cross-section ${\mathrm{d}}\sigma /{\mathrm{d}}t$ at $\sqrt{s}=2.76\hbox {TeV}$ and implications on the existence of a colourless C-odd three-gluon compound state

The proton-proton elastic differential cross section dσ/dt has been measured by the TOTEM experiment at √ s = 2.76 TeV energy with β* = 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 and 0.54 GeV 2 , followed by a diffractive minimum (dip) at |t dip | = (0.61 ± 0.03) GeV 2 and a subsequent maximum (bump). The ratio of the dσ/dt at the bump and at the dip is 1.7±0.2. When compared to the proton–antiproton measurement of the D0 experiment at √ 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 C-odd three-gluon bound state exchange in the t-channel of the proton-proton and proton–antiproton elastic scattering.

Local lattice-gas model for immiscible fluids

A lattice-gas model is presented for two-dimensional immiscible fluid flows with surface tension that uses strictly local collision rules. Instead of using a local total color flux as Somers and Rem (1991), local colored holes are used to be the memory of particles of the same color. Interactions between walls and fluids are included that produce arbitrary contact angles.
