Theory of high-energy scattering and multiple production
A theoretical model is proposed for the high-energy interaction, the basic idea of which is that the high-energy processes are reducible to the low- energy ones through a peripheral mechanism. The asymptotic properties of this model are studied by means of a linear homogeneous integral equation, whose kernel depends on the low-energy amplitudes. It is shown that many general predictions can be derived that are independent of the detailed form of the low- energy input. The results refer both to high-energy elastic scattering and multiple production. For the inelastic processes, simple general predictions are found for measurable quantities such as multiplicities, inelasticity, and spectra of secondaries. For the elastic scattering, the characteristic Regge pole behavior is found for all scattering amplitudes. The relation between the bound- state problem and diffraction can therefore be understood in a relativistic model, which contains in itself both phenomena. The possible corrections of the model are discussed, by using approximately the unitarity condition. Indications are found of the possible existence of continuous power distribution, or equivalent of cuts in the complex angularmomentum variable.
