Three-body forces, single diffraction dissociation and shadow corrections to hadron-deuteron total cross-sections

Abstract

The relationships between the fundamental dynamics and diffraction phenomena in scattering from two-body composite system are discussed. A new simple formula for the shadow corrections to the total cross-section in scattering from deuteron has been derived and new scaling characteristics with a clear physical interpretation have been established. The effect of weakening the inelastic screening at super-high energies is theoretically discovered. A comparison with the experimental data on proton(antiproton)-deuteron total cross-sections has been performed. It is shown that there is quite a remarkable correspondence of the theory with the experimental data.
