Asymptotic upper bound on the 3-to-3 amplitude

Асимптотическая верхняя граница для амплитуды «3 в 3»

Summary

Unitarity and analyticity are used in the context of the multi-Regge hypothesis to imply an asymptotic upper bound on the 3-to-3 amplitude in the helicity-pole—Regge-pole limit. The derivation parallels the one used by Froissart for the 2-to-2 amplitude, but the presence of physical-region singularities and integral inequalities complicates the present case and makes the result rather heuristic.

Riassunto

Si usano l’unitarietà e l’analiticità nel contesto dell’ipotesi di Regge multipla per implicare un limite superiore asintotico all’ampiezza 3 a 3 nel limite polo di elicità-polo di Regge. La deduzione è parallela a quella usata da Froissart per l’ampiezza 2 a 2, ma la presenza di singolarità della regione fisica e di disuguaglianze integrali complica il presente caso e rende il risultato piuttosto euristico.

Реэюме

В свяэи с гипотеэой нескольких полюсов Редже, испольэуется унитар-ность и аналитичность для получения асимптотической верхней границы для амплитуды « 3 в 3 « в пределе « спиральный полюс - полюс Редже «. Вывод про-водится параллельно выводу, испольэованному Фруассаром для амплитуды « 2 в 2 «, но наличие сингулярностей в фиэической области и интегральных неравенств услож-няет рассматриваемый случай и делает реэультат довольно звристическим.
