The unitarity equation at high energy

Уравнение унитарности при высоких энергиях

Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

It is shown that in terms of the Sudakov variables the high-energy form of the unitarity equation is exceedingly simple. The result is used to derive the multi-Regge model contribution to the imaginary part of the two-body elastic amplitude. It is argued self-consistently that this contribution need not break the Froissart bound. The Sudakov technique is also shown to give immediate calculations of the ladder diagrams in perturbation theory and ofn-fold, two-particles-channel iterations oft-channel Regge poles. The latter leads to a simple derivation of the properties of the associated Regge cuts.

Riassunto

Si dimostra che, in termini delle variabili di Sadukov, la forma di alta energia del-l’equazione di unitarietà è semplicissima. Si usa il risultato per ottenere il contributo del modello multiplo di Regge alla parte immaginaria della ampiezza elastica di due corpi. Si deduce in modo autocoerente che questo contributo non infrange necessariamente il limite di Froissart. Si dimostra anche che la tecnica di Sudakov permette calcoli immediati dei diagrammi a scala nella teoria delle perturbazioni, e dellen-ple iterazioni nel canales di due particelle dei poli di Regge del canalet. Queste ultime portano ad una semplice derivazione delle proprietà dei tagli di Regge associati.

Резюме

Показывается, что в терминах переменных Судакова форма уравнения унитарности при высоких энергиях существенно упрощается. Результат используется для вывода вклада множественной модели qRедже в мнимую часть двух-частичной упругой амплитуды. Само-согласованно предполагается, что этот вклад не требует нарушения границы Фройссарта. Также показывается, что техника Судакова дает непосредственное вычисление лестничных дичграмм в теории возмущений иn-кратных двух-частичных итераций вs канале для полюсов Редже вt канале. Последнее приводит к простому выводу свойств связанных разрезов Редже.
