Abstract

Using the short-range-expansion formalism we simultaneously fit the pp elastic differential cross section (DCS) as √s =52.8 GeV and the newest p¯p DCS data measured by UA4 at the CERN SPS p¯p collider (Sp¯pS). This amounts to a prediction of the large-t behavior of the Sp¯pS DCS. The corresponding valon-valon matter form factor has a zero at a smaller Q2 than it has at √s =52.8 GeV. We show that, as s increases from CERN ISR to Sp¯pS and beyond, the valon, like its host hadron, becomes larger and blacker while still remaining about half the size of its host. A qualitative physical explanation of this behavior is suggested.

  3. In Ref. 1 we normalized MFF's to 1 at t=0. This is natural when s is fixed and we plot normalized MFF's in Fig. 2 of this paper. For the purpose of studying the s dependence we prefer, however, to define the MFF as in Eq. (1), since factors which depend only on s cancel out upon normalization. With this definition, MFF's have dimensions of scattering amplitudes. Normalized MFF's are dimensionless.
