Total π + p cross section extracted from the leading neutron spectra at the LHC (2017)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2017). Total π + p cross section extracted from the leading neutron spectra at the LHC. Physical Review D, 96(3), Article 034018. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.96.034018

We use the very forward neutron energy spectra measured by the LHC forward experiment at 7 TeV to extract the πþp total cross section at center-of-mass energies in the range 2.3–3.5 TeV. To do this, we have to first isolate the π-exchange pole in for... Read More about Total π + p cross section extracted from the leading neutron spectra at the LHC.

χc decays and the gluon component of the η′, η mesons (2017)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Khoze, V., Ryskin, M., & Shuvaev, A. (2017). χc decays and the gluon component of the η′, η mesons. Physics Letters B, 770, 88-92. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2017.04.046

The large mass of the η′ meson indicates that a sizeable gluon component is present in the meson wave function. However, the χc0 and χc2 decays to η′ mesons, which proceed via a purely gluonic intermediate state and we would therefore naïvely expect...
