Reflective scattering from unitarity saturation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v4

Abstract

Proceeding from optical analogy we propose a new physical interpretation of unitarity saturation leading to antishadowing as a reflective scattering. This interpretation of antishadowing is related to the non-perturbative aspects of strong interactions and follows from the specific property of the unitarity saturation when elastic SS-matrix S(s,b)b=01S(s,b)|_{b=0}\to -1 at ss\to \infty. The analogy with Berry phase and experimental consequences of the proposed interpretation as reflective scattering at the LHC and in the cosmic rays studies are discussed.
