bar pp, αα and pα Elastic Scattering at High Energies and Chou-Yang Conjecture

Abstract

The recent experimental measurements for bar pp and αα elastic scattering at high energies have shown that the Chou-Yang conjecture regarding the relationship between the electromagnetic and the hadronic form factor of a particle is only an approximation. A new ansatz has been proposed to obtain hadronic form factors of proton and the α-particle. These form factors have been used to explain the various characteristics of bar pp, αα and pα elastic scattering at high energies.
