Asymptotic Energy Dependence of Hadronic Total Cross Sections from
Lattice QCD
   [PDF]

Matteo Giordano, Enrico Meggiolaro, Niccolò Moretti
The nonperturbative approach to soft high-energy hadron-hadron scattering, based on the analytic continuation of Wilson-loop correlation functions from Euclidean to Minkowskian theory, allows to investigate the asymptotic energy dependence of hadron-hadron total cross sections in lattice QCD. In this Letter we will show, using best fits of the lattice data with proper functional forms satisfying unitarity and other physical constraints, how strong indications emerge in favor of a universal asymptotic high-energy behavior of the kind B log^2 s for hadronic total cross sections.
