Studying time-like proton form factors using vortex state pp annihilation
Abstract
Vortex states of particles - non-plane-wave solutions of the corresponding wave equation with a helicoidal wave front - open new opportunities for particle physics, unavailable in plane wave scattering. Here we demonstrate that p p annihilation with a vortex proton and antiproton provides access to the phase of proton electromagnetic form factors even in unpolarized scattering.
