Our investigation of high energy [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] elastic scattering over the last ten years has led us to consider that the proton has three regions: (i) an outer region consisting of a quark–antiquark [Formula: see text] condensate ground state (also described as quark–antiquark outer cloud), (ii) an inner shell of topological (geometrical) baryonic charge of size [Formula: see text] 0.44 fm, and (iii) a core of size [Formula: see text] 0.2 fm, where the three valence quarks of a proton with baryonic charges are confined. The proton structure that has emerged leads to four main elastic scattering processes in [Formula: see text] scattering. The first process (which gives rise to diffraction scattering) is described by a profile function. The second process involves multiple [Formula: see text]-exchanges. The third process in [Formula: see text] scattering is quark–quark scattering via gluon–gluon interaction. The fourth process — which appears for the first time in our investigation of [Formula: see text] scattering — is a glancing collision at the boundary of a proton with that of the other proton. To describe quantitatively the four processes, their parameters have to be determined. For this purpose, we investigate: (i) [Formula: see text] 7 TeV [Formula: see text] measured by the TOTEM Collaboration and (ii) [Formula: see text] 1.96 TeV [Formula: see text] measured by the D0 Collaboration. Once the parameters are satisfactorily obtained, we calculate [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] at 7 TeV and compare with the TOTEM data. We also calculate [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] at 1.96 TeV and compare with the D0 data. We then predict [Formula: see text] elastic [Formula: see text] at 13 TeV which will soon be measured at LHC by the TOTEM Collaboration. This measurement will establish how well we have predicted the 13 TeV [Formula: see text] and determined the structure of the proton.

Abstract We construct explicit analytic solutions of the SU(N)-Skyrme model (for generic N) suitable to describe different phases of nuclear pasta at finite volume in (3 + 1) dimensions. The first type are crystals of Baryonic tubes (nuclear spaghetti) while the second type are smooth Baryonic layers (nuclear lasagna). Both, the ansatz for the spaghetti and the ansatz for the lasagna phases, reduce the complete set of Skyrme field equations to just one integrable equation for the profile within sectors of arbitrary high topological charge. We compute explicitly the total energy of both configurations in terms of the flavor number, the density and the Baryonic charge. Remarkably, our analytic results allow to compare explicitly the physical properties of nuclear spaghetti and lasagna phases. Our construction shows explicitly that, at lower densities, configurations with N = 2 light flavors are favored while, at higher densities, configurations with N = 3 are favored. Our construction also proves that in the high density regime (but still well within the range of validity of the Skyrme model) the lasagna configurations are favored while at low density the spaghetti configurations are favored. Moreover, the integrability property of the present configurations is not spoiled by the inclusion of the subleading corrections to the Skyrme model arising in the ’t Hooft expansion. Finally, we briefly discuss the large N limit of our configurations.

Freeze Out

The scenario of the independent chemical freeze-outs for strange and nonstrange particles is discussed. Within such a scenario an apparent in-equilibrium of strangeness is naturally explained by a separation of chemical freeze-out of strange hadrons from the one of non-strange hadrons, which, nevertheless, are connected by the conservation laws of entropy, baryonic charge and third isospin projection. An interplay between the separate freeze-out of strangeness and its residual non-equilibrium is studied within an elaborate version of the hadron resonance gas model. The developed model enables us to perform a high-quality fit of the hadron multiplicity ratios measured at AGS, SPS and RHIC with an overall fit quality ϰ2/dof = 0:93. A special attention is paid to a description of the Strangeness Horn and to the well-known problem of selective suppression of Δ- and ж hyperons. It is remarkable that for all collision energies the strangeness suppression factor γs is about 1 within the error bars. The only exception is found in the vicinity of the center-of-mass collision energy 7.6 GeV, at which a residual enhancement of strangeness of about 20 % is observed.

Abstract The low energy limit of QCD admits (crystals of) superconducting Baryonic tubes at finite density. We begin with the Maxwell-gauged Skyrme model in (3 + 1)-dimensions (which is the low energy limit of QCD in the leading order of the large N expansion). We construct an ansatz able to reduce the seven coupled field equations in a sector of high Baryonic charge to just one linear Schrödinger-like equation with an effective potential (which can be computed explicitly) periodic in the two spatial directions orthogonal to the axis of the tubes. The solutions represent ordered arrays of Baryonic superconducting tubes as (most of) the Baryonic charge and total energy is concentrated in the tube-shaped regions. They carry a persistent current (which vanishes outside the tubes) even in the limit of vanishing U(1) gauge field: such a current cannot be deformed continuously to zero as it is tied to the topological charge. Then, we discuss the subleading corrections in the ’t Hooft expansion to the Skyrme model (called usually $$ {\mathcal {L}}_{6}$$L6, $${\mathcal {L}}_{8}$$L8 and so on). Remarkably, the very same ansatz allows to construct analytically these crystals of superconducting Baryonic tubes at any order in the ’t Hooft expansion. Thus, no matter how many subleading terms are included, these ordered arrays of gauged solitons are described by the same ansatz and keep their main properties manifesting a universal character. On the other hand, the subleading terms can affect the stability properties of the configurations setting lower bounds on the allowed Baryon density.

Sufficient Precision

High energy elastic pp scattering at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at c.m. energy 14 TeV is predicted using the asymptotic behavior of σ tot (s) and ρ(s) known from dispersion relation calculations and the measured elastic [Formula: see text] differential cross-section at [Formula: see text]. The effective field theory model underlying the phenomenological analysis describes the nucleon as having an outer cloud of quark–antiquark condensed ground state, an inner core of topological baryonic charge of radius ≃ 0.44 F and a still smaller valence quark-bag of radius ≲ 0.1 F. The LHC experiment TOTEM (Total and Elastic Measurement), if carried out with sufficient precision from |t| = 0 to |t| > 10 GeV 2, will be able to test this structure of the nucleon.

Abstract. In this work we investigate the possible condensation of tetraneutron resonant states in the lower density neutron rich gas regions inside Neutron Stars (NSs). Using a relativistic density functional approach we characterize the system containing different hadronic species including, besides tetraneutrons, nucleons and a set of light clusters (3He, $ \alpha$α particles, deuterium and tritium). $ \sigma$σ, $ \omega$ω and $ \rho$ρ mesonic fields provide the interaction in the nuclear system. We study how the tetraneutron presence could significantly impact the nucleon pairing fractions and the distribution of baryonic charge among species. For this we assume that they can be thermodynamically produced in an equilibrated medium and scan a range of coupling strengths to the mesonic fields from prescriptions based on isospin symmetry arguments. We find that tetraneutrons may appear over a range of densities belonging to the outer NS crust carrying a sizable amount of baryonic charge thus depleting the nucleon pairing fractions.
