SCATTERING MECHANISM OF HIGH ENERGY STRONG INTERACTION SOFT PROCESSES

Abstract

Starting from the viewpoint that the constituent quark has its own structure and incorporating the hypothesis of maximum nonperturbative strong interaction reaction (MNSIR), which should be obeyed in high energy strong soft processes, we modified the field theory for soft Pomeron (ℙ) of Landshoff and Nachtmann and proposed a new structure model for the soft Pomeron ℙ and Reggeon ℝ. In this model a pair of constituent quarks coming from colliding hadron in strong soft processes are first disaggregated into a valance quark with a nonperturbative gluon cloud G wrapped about, or, according to the case, into a nonperturbative gluon wrapped by spinor cloud. Corresponding to such mechanism, the relevant structure of soft Pomeron ℙ or Region ℝ is represented by the sum of a series of cut ladder diagrams. In the multi-Regge region, where the energy of the system is very large and the momentum transfer |t| is very small, and in the approximation where only the leading order of log s is preserved, we calculated the [Formula: see text] scattering amplitude and its total cross-section from the sum of such ladder diagrams. The Regge-behavior factor in the form of an exponential power law of s does arise. We also get compact formulas for the trajectories of soft ℙ and ℝ. As example of application, an alternative mechanism of J/Ψ nonquarkonic-hadron decay is proposed.
