Expanding Protons: Scattering at High Energies

by Hong Cheng and Hung Cheng

This book presents an original theory, based on more than a decade of research, of the behavior of strongly interacting particles in high-energy collision processes. Using gauge field theories, the authors systematically study elastic as well as multiparticle production processes and diffractive scattering, arriving at the conclusion that the total cross section should rise, that is, the particles should "expand," as energies increase.
