Parity violation in high-energy proton-proton scattering

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

A new approach is proposed to describe the parity violation in the process of scattering of a polarized proton by a proton at high energies. It is shown that in the tree approximation the P-odd amplitude of proton-proton scattering is substantially smaller than the P-odd amplitude in proton-neutron scattering. The main source of P-odd asymmetry in proton-proton scattering is radiative corrections due to the charge-exchange strong interaction. We predict that the asymmetry in the inelastic cross section is substantially less than the asymmetry in the elastic cross section.
