  • Behaviour of Total and Elastic Cross-Sections at Very High Energies
    CERN-TH.7437/94 9 OCR Output CERN—TH-7437-94 BEHAVIOUR OF TOTAL AND ELASTIC CROSS-SECTIONS AT VERY HIGH ENERGIES Tai '1`sun WU Gordon McKay Laboratory, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA and Theoretical Physics Division, CERN CH - 1211 Geneva 23 CERN-TH.7437/94 September 1994 BEHAVIOR OF TOTAL AND ELASTIC CROSS SECTIONS AT VERY HIGH ENERGIES TAI TSUN WU Gordon McKay Laboratory Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138, USA, and Theoretical Physics Division, CERM Geneva, Switzerland 1. Introduction In this talk, I would like to present an overview of the original theoretical prediction of the increasing total cross section on the basis of gauge quantum field theory, phenomeno logical predictions from this theoretical understanding, comparison with later experimental data, and expected future data from HER.A. The discussion will be limited to elastic scattering, since it is the simplest scattering process. Through the optical theorem, the total cross section—which gives the overall strength of the scattering process———is proportional to the imaginary part of the elastic scattering amplitude in the forward direction. Therefore, the theoretical understanding of elastic scattering is often of primary importance. Some of these developments can be found in an excellent book by Herbert Fried, the organizer of this workshop: Herbert M. Fried, Fhnctional Methods and Eikonal Models, Editions Frontieres (1990). A few years earlier, Hung Cheng and I also wrote a book on this subject: Hung Cheng and Tai Tsun Wu, Expanding Protons: Scattering at High Energies, The MIT Press (1987). A recent topic of current interest, of course not covered in either of these books which are a few years old, is the data from the electron-proton colliding accelerator HQERA at DESY, Hamburg, Germany.

  • Positivity of the Real Part of the Forward Scattering Amplitude

From the point of view of physics, the advantage of using In 1965, Khuri and Kinoshita published a series of quantum field theory is that the following three basic interesting papers on the real part of the forward scattering features are all satisfied: (1) relativistic kinematics, (2) uni- amplitude obtained via dispersion relations from the tarity, and (3) particle production [6]. The result found this imaginary part which is proportional to the total cross way in 1970 was a surprise: the total cross section must section [1]. Among their results was the prediction that, if increase at high energies, essentially saturating the Froissart- the Froissart bound is saturated, i.e., if the total cross 2 Martin bound, and the real part of the forward scattering section behaves at high energies like ðln sÞ where s is the amplitude does have the Khuri-Kinoshita behavior.

S. Atomic Energy Commission **Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation TPermanent address: Dept. of Mathematics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139. 1. INTRODUCTION Over the past four years, considerable efforts have been devoted to quantum electrodynamics at high energies D As a result of such intensive investigations, we have accumulated not only a wealth of knowledge on the interaction between electrons and photons at high energies, but also much basic understanding on the behavior of a high-energy particle in general. Today I would like to report on some of the most interesting developments here. The results I shall give are therefore of two distinct kinds: (i) those which are applicable to electrons and photons only; (ii) those which are applicable to hadrons as well. The first kind includes most of the computational results on asymptotic Feynman amplitudes e To give some examples, we have now in our possession the high-energy limit of the total and the differential cross sections for (1) the Delbrlick scattering process; (2) the photon-photon scattering process; (3) pair-creation process in electron-electron scattering or electron-positron scattering. Of these quantities, the pair-creation cross sections are already relevant to colliding beam experiments, as reported by Dr.

We consider the full set of Coulomb amplitudes and show that the interference between the hadronic non-flip amplitude and the single-flip Coulomb amplitude is sufficient to obtain a good agreement with the present experimental data. This leads us to conclude that the single-flip hadronic amplitude is small in this low momentum transfer region and it strongly suggests that this process can be used as an absolute polarimeter at the BNL-RHIC pp collider.

More accurate data, which is expected to be forthcoming soon, will give this pre- diction a stringent test. Key-Words : Total photon cross section, impact-picture.

Recently at HERA, the H1 and ZEUS detectors have measured the photo- production total cross section at an average γp center of mass energy of 180 GeV [1,2]. They confirm the previous and less accurate result of ZEUS[3] and indicate that this total cross section is rising. This rise has caused a lot of excitement and vastly different rates of increase have been proposed[4−9] which are based either on minijet contributions or on Regge - type analyses. In this letter we will present a very simple approach to this increasing γp total cross section.

  • Rahlung in the Deep Quantum Regime
    BEAMSTRAHLUNG IN THE DEEP QUANTUM REGIME I M. Jacob and Tai Tsun Wu I Abstract Electron—positron linear colliders working in the multi—TeV range cannot achieve the very high luminosities which are required, without bunch densities which imply an abundant bremsstrahlung. We discuss this radiation in the deep quantum regime, where such machines are likely to operate. Bringing radiation losses to a tolerable level is an interesting challenge to the design of such linear colliders. At present there is much interest in electron—positron linear The question of electron radiation in a strong field has a long colliders which could operate in the TeV and multi—TeV ranges. history. One may start with the seminal work of Schwinger [7], While no design can yet be proposed for such machines, followed by extensive studies of synchrotron radiation and more extensive studies being carried out at CERN and at SLAC in recent calculations [8,9]. The topical nature of the problem stems particular should lead to interesting developments [1]. The from the fact that the parameter I", well known in synchrotron energy range covered by such machines should open up radiation, and which gives the ratio between the typical radiation fascinating perspectives [2].
