Professor Emeritus

Physics

Research Interests

• Analyzing high energy proton-proton and antiproton-proton elastic scattering in the GeV and TeV regions;
• Determining the dynamical mechanisms responsible for the elastic scattering;
• Understanding the nucleon structure revealed by the dynamics;
• Predicting proton-proton elastic scattering at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at center-of-mass energies 7 and 14 TeV and momentum transfer range |t| = 0 – 10 GeV².
