Hadronic Total Cross-sections Through Soft Gluon Summation in Impact Parameter Space Grau, A. Pancheri, G. Srivastava, Y. N. Bloch-Nordsieck Cross-sectional studies The Bloch-Nordsieck model for the parton distribution of hadrons in impact parameter space, constructed using soft gluon summation, is investigated in detail. Its dependence upon the infrared structure of the strong coupling constant αs is discussed, both for finite as well as singular, but integrable, αs. The formalism is applied to the prediction of total proton-proton and proton-antiproton cross-sections, where screening, due to soft gluon emission from the initial valence quarks, becomes evident. 2013-11-06T13:52:22Z 2013-11-06T13:52:22Z 1999 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Grau, A.; Pancheri, G.; Srivastava, Y.N.
