The QCD odderon in elastic (anti)proton scattering

The C-odd amplitude for the elastic pp and p (p) over bar scattering due to the exchange of the QCD odderon proposed by J. Bartels, L.N. Lipatov and G.P. Vacca is calculated with the Fukugita-Kwiecinski proton impact factor. The found amplitude is very small and cannot be felt in the differential cross-sections at 2.76 and 1.96 TeV respectively.

Automated summary

This study calculates the C-odd amplitude for the elastic proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering due to the exchange of the QCD odderon. The found amplitude is very small and has almost no impact on the differential cross-sections at different energies.
