Interpretation of High Energyp−pScattering

A study is made of the scattering of high energy protons by protons. Several types of "cutoffs" are introduced into the singular tensor interaction proposed by Christian and Noyes; the triplet $P$ state radial equations are then solved by essentially exact numerical integration methods. The resulting cross sections show a more pronounced disagreement with experiment than do the Born approximation cross sections of Christian and Noyes. Calculations were carried out in the vicinity of 350 Mev and 120 Mev.
