The tensor product of $L$ copies of a single vector, such as $p_{i_1} ... p_{i_L}$, can be analyzed in terms of angular momentum. When $p_{i_1} ... p_{i_L}$ is decomposed into a sum of components $( p_{i_1} ... p_{i_L} )^L_\ell$, each…

We suggest that, if current measurements of inclusive jet production for central rapidities at the LHC are extended to lower transverse momenta, one could define a visible cross section sensitive to the unitarity bound set by the recent…
