Phenomenological Analysis of $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ Elastic Scattering Based on Theoretical Bounds in High-Energy Physics

/ Abstract
Considering the Froissart-Martin bound, Jin-Martin-Cornille bound and the optical theorem, we propose a novel parametrization for the total cross-section of proton-proton and antiproton-proton elastic scattering data. Using derivative dispersion relations we obtain the real part of the elastic scattering amplitude and thus the ρ parameter. Simultaneous fits to σtot and ρ are performed allowing very good statistical descriptions of the available data. Furthermore, predictions to σtot and ρ at energies not used in the fit procedures are presented. For σtot we obtain predictions at RHIC, LHC and future HC energies.
