Theory of the heavy pomeron
The small shrinkage of the diffraction peak is used for studying the pomeron structure in the intermediate non-asymptotic energy region. Even in this region the cross sections are shown to be factorized and basically determined by a pole and by enhanced cuts. The total cross sections rise as (ln ln...

Summary: | The small shrinkage of the diffraction peak is used for studying the pomeron structure in the intermediate non-asymptotic energy region. Even in this region the cross sections are shown to be factorized and basically determined by a pole and by enhanced cuts. The total cross sections rise as (ln ln
E)
2 and the interaction radius as ln ln
E. The general character of inelastic processes is the same as in the strong coupling theory for the asymptotic region. |
