Abstract:
We present an extension to π±p\pi^{\pm} p and K±pK^{\pm} p elastic scattering at high energies of the impact-picture phenomenology we first proposed more than twenty years ago, for ppp p and pˉp\bar p p elastic scattering. We show, in particular, that the analytic form of the opacity function for the proton obtained previously is compatible with the experimental results on πp\pi p and KpK p elastic scattering at high energies. It is proposed that π±\pi^{\pm} and K±K^{\pm} external beams be provided from CERN-LHC, so that their elastic scattering from protons can be studied at higher energies. Our phenomenology for ppp p and pˉp\bar p p elastic scattering is updated by including new data and we give predictions for future experiments at BNL-RHIC and CERN-LHC.
