Abstract

Arguments are presented for the expected behaviour of \piNpiN\piNpiN scattering and the \pbarppipi\pbarppipi reaction at high energy and large scattering angles. % The annihilation reaction has close to maximal asymmetry (\approx 1) for plab\simlp_{lab} \siml 2.2 GeV/c. % As will be presented for fixed (90°\degree) angle this large asymmetry will not become zero but will start to oscillate with energy at higher energies and large Q2Q^2 when perturbative QCD becomes applicable. This is due to the energy dependence of a QCD phase difference between the independent quark-quark scattering (Landshoff) and short-distance processes at high but not asymptotic energies. % A consequence of the existence the Landshoff process is that even if helicity is conserved at the quark level (mqm_{q} = 0 MeV), helicity does not have to be conserved on the hadronic level. % We will discuss the implications for spin observables in pppp elastic scattering and argue that
