The total nuclear reaction cross-section σRfor p-4He in the energy range from 25 MeV to 1000 MeV is calculated within Glauber and Coulomb-modified Glauber models. The Coulomb-modified Glauber model (CMGM) is introduced via modification of the Coulomb trajectory of the projectile from a straight line, and calculation of the effective radius of interaction. The effects of in-medium nucleon–nucleon (NN) total cross-section, phase variation, high order momentum transfer component of nucleon–nucleon elastic scattering amplitude and Pauli blocking are studied. It is pointed out that the phase variation of the nucleon–nucleon amplitude plays a significant role in describing σRwith γ = -1.6 fm2at in-medium nuclear density ϱ = 0 and γ = -2 fm2at ϱ = 0.17 fm-3in the whole energy range. A remarkable fit to the available experimental data is obtained by invoking Pauli blocking and high order momentum transfer of nucleon–nucleon (NN) elastic scattering amplitude for Ep< 100 MeV.

Proton–deuteron elastic scattering at intermediate and high energies illustrates the importance of the phase variation of the nucleon–nucleon elastic scattering amplitude as in previous work. Two kinds of phase variation are examined. The first is the usual one which is related to free nucleon-free nucleon collisions as suggested by Franco. The second is assumed to be related to the time ordering of multi-scattering processes. The two kinds play similar roles in improving the results. The contributions of both kinds lead to a good fit to the experimental data at the energies considered. The value of the phase variation parameter in each kind (where they are considered together), which gives a good fit to the experimental data, are approximately the same and of order 4 (GeV / c)‾ 2. Also, with relatively small values of the phase variation parameter, the phase variation effect improves the agreement with the experimental data for the p–4He elastic scattering differential cross section at the minimum region in the energy range 97–393 GeV.

Abstract The TOTEM experiment at the LHC has performed the first measurement at $$\sqrt{s} = 13\,\mathrm{TeV}$$s=13TeV of the $$\rho $$ρ parameter, the real to imaginary ratio of the nuclear elastic scattering amplitude at $$t=0$$t=0, obtaining the following results: $$\rho = 0.09 \pm 0.01$$ρ=0.09±0.01 and $$\rho = 0.10 \pm 0.01$$ρ=0.10±0.01, depending on different physics assumptions and mathematical modelling. The unprecedented precision of the $$\rho $$ρ measurement, combined with the TOTEM total cross-section measurements in an energy range larger than $$10\,\mathrm{TeV}$$10TeV (from 2.76 to $$13\,\mathrm{TeV}$$13TeV), has implied the exclusion of all the models classified and published by COMPETE. The $$\rho $$ρ results obtained by TOTEM are compatible with the predictions, from other theoretical models both in the Regge-like framework and in the QCD framework, of a crossing-odd colourless 3-gluon compound state exchange in the t-channel of the proton–proton elastic scattering. On the contrary, if shown that the crossing-odd 3-gluon compound state t-channel exchange is not of importance for the description of elastic scattering, the $$\rho $$ρ value determined by TOTEM would represent a first evidence of a slowing down of the total cross-section growth at higher energies. The very low-|t| reach allowed also to determine the absolute normalisation using the Coulomb amplitude for the first time at the LHC and obtain a new total proton–proton cross-section measurement $$\sigma _{\mathrm{tot}} = (110.3 \pm 3.5)\,\mathrm{mb}$$σtot=(110.3±3.5)mb, completely independent from the previous TOTEM determination. Combining the two TOTEM results yields $$\sigma _{\mathrm{tot}} = (110.5 \pm 2.4)\,\mathrm{mb}$$σtot=(110.5±2.4)mb.
