Odderon in baryon-baryon scattering from the AdS/CFT correspondence

Abstract

Based on the AdS/CFT correspondence, we present a holographic description of various C-odd exchanges in high energy baryon-(anti)baryon scattering, and calculate their respective contributions to the difference in the total cross sections. We show that, due to the warp factor of AdS5, the single Odderon exchange gives a larger total cross section in baryon-baryon collisions than in baryon-antibaryon collisions at asymptotically high energies. © SISSA 2010.
