Hot spots and the hollowness of proton–proton interactions at high energies
We present a dynamical explanation of the hollowness effect observed in proton–proton scattering at s=7 TeV. This phenomenon, not observed at lower energies, consists in a depletion of the inelasticity density at zero impact parameter of the collision. Our analysis is based on three main ingredients...
