Neutron-Proton Total Cross-Sections from 40-GeV/c to 280-GeV/c

We present results of measurements of the n−p total cross section between 30 and 280 GeV/c. The measurements were carried out with a neutron beam by using the standard transmission technique and a liquid-hydrogen target. A total-absorption calorimeter was used to determine the neutron energy. Our measurements, which have an accuracy of ∼1%, indicate a smooth rise of approximately 1.5 mb between 50 and 280 GeV/c. The combined n−p and p−p data above 20 GeV/c are well fitted by the expression σ=38.4+0.85|ln(s95)|1.47 mb.

The charged-particle multiplicity distribution in 205−GeVc proton-proton interactions is presented. In addition, the total diffractive contributions to each charged multiplicity are estimated assuming a factorizable Pomeron.

A MEASUREMENT OF THE p p TOTAL CROSS-SECTION AT 200-GeV/c AND 300-GeV/c

Phys.Rev.Lett. 32 (1974) 441-444, 1974.

We have measured total cross sections for p−p scattering with the results σT=40.42±0.27 mb at 200 GeV/c and 40.40 ± 0.28 mb at 300 GeV/c. Our 300-GeV/c result is significantly higher than published data from the CERN intersecting storage rings. Our data, taken together with the Serpukhov data, indicate that the cross section rises ≅ 2 mb between 60 and 250 GeV. The variation of the cross section with energy may be more complicated than the a+blnsα behavior commonly assumed for Elab≳50 GeV.
