Hadronic cross sections

Using the Froissart bound as a unifying theme, I will show that
the experimental data for hadronic crosssections, from nucleon-nucleon,
pion-proton, gamma-p and gamma*-p, are all consistent with a high energy
behavior saturating the Froissart bound, all rising with energy as log^2(s).
Using analyticity constraints that tie in very accurate low-energy total
cross section measurements for...

The proton-air inelastic cross section measurement at sqrt(s) ~2 TeV from the EAS-TOP Extensive Air Shower experiment is reported. The technique exploits cosmic ray proton primaries, in the energy region $E_0 = 1.5- 2.5 x 10^15 eV, studying the absorption length of their cascades when detected at maximum development. Primary energies are selected through the EAS muon number, and proton...
