Measurement of the proton-antiproton total and elastic cross sections at the CERN SPS collider

Description

The proton-antiproton total cross section was measured at the CM energy √s = 546 GeV. The result is σtot = 61.9± 1.5 mb. The ratio of the elastic to the total cross section is σeℓ/σtot = 0.215±0.005. A comparison to the lower energy data shows that the increase of the total cross section with energy is very close to a log2s behaviour.
