Pomeron Physics at the LHC

2017

Abstract

This paper discusses the application of Regge Theory, which originated from pre-QCD S-matrix theory, in understanding hadron collisions. 

The theory suggests that cross sections of these collisions grow as a power of the center of mass energy, represented in particle exchange or bound state production. 

This phenomenon is primarily attributed to the exchange of a particle trajectory, referred to as Pomeron exchange, which predicts a power-law rise in the total cross section. The proceedings aim to review advancements in utilizing Pomeron exchange to interpret LHC (Large Hadron Collider) data, given the observable power-law behavior in p-p total cross section data.

The study uses Regge Theory and Pomeron exchange to enhance understanding of hadron collisions, influencing advancements in areas like quantum computing, medical technology, defense, and energy.

Where does it apply?

In the long term, it can contribute to advancements in quantum computing, beneficial for high-tech businesses. 

In the medical technology field, it can enhance the development of imaging technologies and radiation therapy. 

The research is also relevant for aerospace and defense sectors, offering protection strategies against high-radiation environments. Moreover, its implications can be useful for the energy industry, specifically nuclear and potentially fusion energy.
