Dynamical gluon mass and $pp$ elastic scattering
  The application of a modified gluon propagator and an infrared frozen running co upling constant in the description of the proton-proton elastic scattering is in vestigated. The model based on the exchange of the Pomeron as a pair of non-pert urbative gluons is modified to include the frozen coupling constant in the infra red kinematic region. A good fit to the data of the differential cross section f or different center of mass energies (53 GeV and 1.8 TeV) is obtained.
