A Hamiltonian model for multiple production in hadron-hadron collisions

Abstract

A Hamiltonian eikonal model for the multiple production in high energy hadron hadron collisions is presented and worked out in the aim of providing a simple frame for many different observables of these processes. The Hamiltonian formulation ensures that it has the unitarity built in by construction and the eikonal approximation makes easier the discussion of the possible spacial inhomogeneities of the hadrons. The experimental data which are examined are the inelastic cross section and the single and double inclusive cross sections.
