Unitarity, (anti)shadowing and the black disc limit

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-25 v2

Abstract

By using realistic models for elastic hadron scattering we demonstrate that at present accelerator energies the ss-channel unitarity bound is safe, not to be reached until 10510^5 GeV, while the black disc limit is saturated around 1 TeV. It will be followed by a larger transparency of the scattered particles near the center.
