QCD and total cross-sections: photons and hadrons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

In this contribution, we discuss a total cross-section model which can be applied to both photon and purely hadronic processes. We find that the model can reproduce photo-production cross-sections, as well as extrapolations of gamma* p processes to gamma p using vector meson dominance models, with minimal modifications from the proton case.
