Regge Description of pion-pion, pion-Kaon, pion-N, Kaon-N and NN Forward Scattering Above E_{kin}>1 Gev
Abstract
Description
We review our recent description of high energy forward hadronic cross sections and in particular of pion scattering data by means of Regge theory. We obtain a prediction for the total proton-proton cross section at LHC. In addition, and contrary to some suggestions in the literature we show that standard Regge behavior can accommodate both crossing symmetry and factorization. Some consequences for low energy pion-pion scattering are briefly discussed.
