Dips in Differential Cross Sections

Author:

Abstract
We suggest that a dip at t=−3 (GeV/c)2 which appears in both π+p and π−p scattering over a wide range of laboratory momentum is related to the dips in the 180-deg cross sections at 2.1 GeV/c. The energy dependence of the cross sections in the vicinity of the dip is consistent with a Regge trajectory for which α=−2 at t=−3.
