Inelastic strong interactions at high energies. Annual progress report, June 1, 1978-May 31, 1979. [Univ. of Cincinnati]
The investigation of cross section-generating classical solutions of field theories, sectons, was continued. Inclusive and semi-inclusive cross sections were shown to be expectation values of simple combinations of field operators in an auxiliary quantum field theory (cut field theory) that can be defined for an arbitrary field theory. The classical solutions that may dominate inclusive cross sections were investigated. The only space-time symmetry possible for the solutions was shown to be O(2) x O(1,1). Solutions of this symmetry generate an inclusive cross section with Feynman scaling. Secton solutions were compared with and shown to be distinct from other known classical solutions, instantons and solitons. Final results in the study of a Reggeon field theory with an internal symmetry were obtained.
