Analytic Amplitudes for Hadronic Forward Scattering and the Heisenberg ln**2 Behaviour of Total Cross Section
Abstract
The ln**2 behaviour of total cross sections, first obtained by Heisenberg 50 years ago, receives now increased interest both on phenomenological and theoretical levels. We present a modification of the Heisenberg's model in connection with the presence of glueballs and we show that it leads to a realistic description of all existing hadron total cross-section data, in agreement with the COMPETE analysis.
