134. Roy Glauber and asymptotic diffraction theory

Plenary

Talk

I shall present a review of Glauber’s asymptotic diffraction theory, in which diffractive scattering is described in terms of interference between semiclassical amplitudes, resulting from a stationary-phase approximation to the integration over impact parameters. Typically two such amplitudes are sufficient to accurately describe elastic scattering, but the stationary points are located at...

Talk

In the late 1950s, Roy Glauber introduced the eikonal approximation within quantum-collision theory [1]. Since then, it has been applied to a wide variety of cases, ranging from atomic physics to particle physics. In nuclear physics, the interest in this model of reactions has been revived by the development of Radioactive-Ion Beam (RIB) facilities, where nuclear structure can be probed far...
