Description

High energy elastic pp differential cross section at LHC at the c.m. energy 14 TeV is predicted using the asymptotic behavior of σtot(s) and ρ(s), and the measured p-barp differential cross section at √(s) =546 GeV. The phenomenological investigation has progressively led to an effective field theory model that describes the nucleon as a chiral bag embedded in a quark-antiquark condensed ground state. The measurement of pp elastic scattering at LHC up to large vertical bar t vertical bar > or approx. 10 GeV2 by the TOTEM group will be crucial to test this structure of the nucleon
