This work is geared towards studying pp collisions using the AdS/CFT correspondence. It is inspired by the work of Richard C. Brower, Joseph Polchinski, Matthew J. Strassler and Chung I Tan (arXiv:1204.0472v1) on particle interactions. A simple extension is provided by calculating the scattering amplitudes of pp collisions using the BPST Pomeron and comparing it to the well known empirical result of elastic pp scattering.
