Abstract

We measured the differential cross section for p̄p and pp elastic scattering in the momentum-transfer range 0.01 <|t| < 1.0 GeV^2 at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings with center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 52.8 GeV. Fitting the differential cross section with an exponential [A exp (bt)], we found b(p pbar) = 13.92 +- 0.59 GeV^(-2) for |t| < 0.05 GeV^2, whilst for |t| > 0.09 GeV2, b(p pbar) = 10.68 +- 0.26 GeV ^(-2). Using the optical theorem, we obtained for the total cross section View the MathML source and, by integrating the differential cross section, we obtained for the total elastic cross section σ_tot(p pbar) = 44.86 +- 0.78 mb. Calculations of σ_tot combining elastic-rate and total-rate measurements are also given. All of these measurements were also performed for pp scattering at the same energy, and the results for both reactions are compared.
