On the parton picture of Froissart asymptotic behavior

Abstract

The Froissart () asymptotic behavior of high energy cross-sections, if considered in a parton picture, is usually represented as a kind of behavior that occurs in the process of a collision of two almost black disks, filled with partons, when radiuses of these - disks grow proportional to log's of there energies. In this article we briefly summarize the main asymptotic properties of - disks that one can expect in QCD. ~~Then we consider if it is possible to guarantee the boost-invariance of transparency T(s,b) = 1 - σin(s,b), where σin(s,b) is the total inelastic cross-section at a definite impact parameter b, in process of collision of two such -disks. Such a question arise because the mean transverse area of the overlapping of colliding - disks, at the same impact parameter b and total energy s~,~ is varying with the Lorentz frame. ~~We show that the value of T(s,b) is not boost-invariant at some b close to the - disk border for the - disks usually expected in QCD. As result the type behavior seems contradictory, or the multiparton system in the high energy Fock wave function must be arranged in rather unusual way.
