Description of the Totem experimental data on elastic pp-scattering at sqrt(s)=7 TeV in the framework of unified systematic of elastic scattering data

An unified systematic of elastic (anti)proton-proton scattering data is proposed based on a simple expression for the process amplitude - f(q)=A[(πdq)/sh(πdq)][i J_1(Rq)/(Rq)+ρJ_0(Rq)]. The parameters R and d are obtained at a fitting of (anti)proton-proton experimental data on differential cross sections from Plab=1 GeV/c up to ISR energies. The fitting gives extra-ordinary good results, χ^2/NoF ~ 1 of below at |t|< 1.75 (GeV/c)^2. An extrapolation of the parameter's energy dependencies to the LHC energies allows excellent description of the Totem data up to the second diffraction maximum. Predictions for other LHC energies are presented also. The amplitude provides one with parameterizations of total and elastic cross sections. Its impact parameter representation corresponds to the 2-dimensional Fermi-function - 1/[1+exp((b-R)/d)], which is very useful for Glauber calculations of nucleus-nucleus cross sections at super high energies. It is shown for the first time that experimental high |t| elastic scattering has a weak energy dependency. This allows to describe high |t| tail of the Totem data.

Simulation of Light Antinucleus-Nucleus Interactions

Creations of light anti-nuclei (anti-deuterium, anti-tritium, anti-He3 and anti-He4) are observed by collaborations at the LHC and RHIC accelerators. Some cosmic ray experiments are aimed to find the anti-nuclei in cosmic rays. To support the experimental studies of the anti-nuclei a Monte Carlo simulation of anti-nuclei interactions with matter is implemented in the Geant4 toolkit. The implementation combines practically all known theoretical approaches to the problem of antinucleon-nucleon interactions.

The Possibility of New Physics in pp Elastic Scattering at LHC

Modern models of high energy elastic hadron-hadron scattering predict an oscillation character of differential cross sections at the LHC energy of 14 TeV and at a sufficiently high momentum transfer. The Totem collaboration did not see the oscillations at 7 TeV. According to some predictions, the oscillations are weak at 7 TeV in the studied 4-momentum transfer range (|t|< 2.5 GeV$^2$). They may be beyond the range of the experiment. But a direct extension of the Totem collaboration data on the pp-scattering at 7 TeV above |t|\sim 2.5 GeV$^2$ contradicts previous measurements. Thus the collaboration can discover either the oscillations at large |t| or a change of the differential cross section behavior in the high |t| region (|t|> 2.5 GeV$^2$).

Tuning of the GEANT4 FRITIOF (FTF) Model Using NA61/SHINE Experimental Data

The NA61/SHINE collaboration measured inclusive cross sections of π^+ and π^- meson production in the interactions of 31 GeV/c protons with carbon nuclei at forward emission angles (0 - 420 mrad). The collaboration also presented predictions of Monte Carlo models - FLUKA, VENUS and UrQMD, in comparison with the data. A careful analysis shows that deviations of the FLUKA and VENUS predictions from the data have different tendencies. The worst description of the data was observed for the UrQMD model results. All the models assume the creation of quark-gluon strings in the interactions, but it is complicated to analyze the models in order to find the source of the deviations. Thus, the quark-gluon string model - FRITIOF (FTF) - was implemented in the GEANT4 toolkit and is used to understand the deviations mentioned above. It was found that the most important factor influencing the FTF calculations is the sampling of quark-gluon string masses. The other factors/parameters are not essential for a description of the data. Also, a good description of the data is achieved by the FTF model.

How to Improve UrQMD Model to Describe NA61/SHINE Experimental Data

The NA61/SHINE collaboration measured inclusive cross sections of pi+ and pi- meson production in the interactions of 31 GeV/c proton with carbon nuclei at small emission angles (0 - 420 mrad). The collaboration presented also predictions of Monte Carlo models - FLUKA, VENUS and UrQMD, in a comparison with the data. The worst description of the data was observed for UrQMD model results. In the present paper it is shown that the drawback of the UrQMD model is connected with an inaccurate treatment of low mass string fragmentation. The strings appeared at a diffraction of target nucleons. A simple patch is proposed to overcome the problem.

Parametrization of the $\bar PP$ Elastic Scattering Differential Cross Section Between 2 GeV/c $\leq P_{lab}\leq$ 16 GeV/c

A parameterization of the $\bar pp$ differential elastic scattering cross section in the beam momentum range from 2 to 16 GeV/c is proposed. The parameterization well describes the existing data including the observed diffraction pattern at four-momentum transfer $|t|$ up to 1.5-2.0 GeV$^2$. It can be used for detailed calculations of the radiation load on the detectors being designed for the PANDA detector at the future FAIR facility in Darmstadt.

Web-page on UrQMD Model Validation

A WEB-page containing materials of comparing experimental data and UrQMD model calculations has been designed. The page provides its user with a variety of tasks solved with the help of the model, accuracy and/or quality of experimental data description, and so on. The page can be useful for new experimental data analysis, or new experimental research planning. The UrQMD model is cited in more than 272 publications. Only 44 of them present original calculations. Their main results on the model are presented on the page.

Patches to UrQMD Model Code

Patches to the code of the Ultra-relativisic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (UrQMD version 1.3) are described. They improve the code operation. The most important one is done for the file ANNDEC.F.

Simplest Validation of the HIJING Monte Carlo Model

Fulfillment of the energy-momentum conservation law, as well as the charge, baryon and lepton number conservation is checked for the HIJING Monte Carlo program in $pp$-interactions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 200, 5500, and 14000 GeV. It is shown that the energy is conserved quite well. The transverse momentum is not conserved, the deviation from zero is at the level of 1--2 GeV/c, and it is connected with the hard jet production. The deviation is absent for soft interactions. Charge, baryon and lepton numbers are conserved. Azimuthal symmetry of the Monte Carlo events is studied, too. It is shown that there is a small signature of a "flow". The situation with the symmetry gets worse for nucleus-nucleus interactions.
