Abstract

We study the on-shell scattering amplitudes in quantum gravity for high-energy collisions in the eikonal approximation. We first evaluate the nn-loop 2-particle scattering amplitude in the high energy and low momentum transfer limit. We do so in a symmetrized manner by finding the contributions of each of the particle worldines to the scattering amplitude and gluing them together via the nn intermediate particle exchanges. In this limit on applying the eikonal approximation and summing over all nn-loop Feynman diagrams we obtain a closed form for the 2 particle scattering amplitude. Finally, we extend this approach to obtain a generalized eikonal approximation for NN-particle scattering at high energies and small momentum transfers. The generalised form of the scattering amplitude can then be used to evaluate the bound states of the system.
