Abstract

We propose a generalisation of the Pomeranchuk theorem which argues that elastic cross-sections should show a universal energy dependence: difference of integrated elastic cross-sections of any pair of initial channels has to disappear at high enough energy.

Notes

  1. A transient character of Eq. (4) was clarified in [4].

  2. The total cross-section starts to grow at lower energy due to the ever growing inelastic cross-section.
