Considering the Froissart–Martin bound, Jin–Martin–Cornille bound and the optical theorem, we propose a novel parametrization for the total cross-section of proton–proton and antiproton–proton elastic scattering data. Using derivative dispersion relations we obtain the real part of the elastic scattering amplitude and thus the ρ parameter. Simultaneous fits to σtot and ρ are performed allowing very good statistical descriptions of the available data. Furthermore, predictions to σtot and ρ at energies not used in the fit procedures are presented. For σtot we obtain predictions at RHIC, LHC and future hadron collider energies.

Abstract We study two-to-two parton scattering amplitudes in the high-energy limit of perturbative QCD by iteratively solving the BFKL equation. This allows us to predict the imaginary part of the amplitude to leading-logarithmic order for arbitrary t-channel colour exchange. The corrections we compute correspond to ladder diagrams with any number of rungs formed between two Reggeized gluons. Our approach exploits a separation of the two-Reggeon wavefunction, performed directly in momentum space, between a soft region and a generic (hard) region. The former component of the wavefunction leads to infrared divergences in the amplitude and is therefore computed in dimensional regularization; the latter is computed directly in two transverse dimensions and is expressed in terms of single-valued harmonic polylogarithms of uniform weight. By combining the two we determine exactly both infrared-divergent and finite contributions to the two-to-two scattering amplitude order-by-order in perturbation theory. We study the result numerically to 13 loops and find that finite corrections to the amplitude have a finite radius of convergence which depends on the colour representation of the t-channel exchange.

Abstract Elastic scattering amplitudes for I = 0 DK and I = 0, 1 $$ D\overline{K} $$ D K ¯ are computed in S, P and D partial waves using lattice QCD with light-quark masses corresponding to mπ = 239 MeV and mπ = 391 MeV. The S-waves contain interesting features including a near-threshold JP = 0+ bound state in I = 0 DK, corresponding to the $$ {D}_{s0}^{\ast } $$ D s 0 ∗ (2317), with an effect that is clearly visible above threshold, and suggestions of a 0+ virtual bound state in I = 0 $$ D\overline{K} $$ D K ¯ . The S-wave I = 1 $$ D\overline{K} $$ D K ¯ amplitude is found to be weakly repulsive. The computed finite-volume spectra also contain a deeply-bound D* vector resonance, but negligibly small P -wave DK interactions are observed in the energy region considered; the P and D-wave $$ D\overline{K} $$ D K ¯ amplitudes are also small. There is some evidence of 1+ and 2+ resonances in I = 0 DK at higher energies.
