Description
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 pp and pbar-p scattering, we make very
precise predictions for both LHC and cosmic ray energy cross sections.
