Abstract:

Phenomenological analysis of proton-proton elastic scattering above a few GeV/c is made in order to have the idea as to whether the strong repulsive core exists or not at such high energy and how strong the repulsive core can be if it exists. We make the simplified assumption that the nucleon-nucleon interaction is described by a short range repulsive core surrounded by a rather long range absorptive medium and calculate the scattering amplitude by the distorted wave Born approximation. The analysis is performed in two cases:
(I) The repulsive core is described by a hard core. (II) It is described by a soft core of the Gaussian shape.
It is quite difficult to explain the high energy data without modifying the strong repulsive core established at low energy.
