Optical theorem,crossing property,and derivative dispersion relations:implications on the asymptotic behavior of σ_(tot)(s) and ρ(s)

In this paper,we present some results on the behavior of the total cross section and p-parameter at asymptotic energies in proton-proton(pp) and antiproton-proton(pp) collisions.Hence,we consider three of the main theoretical results in high energy physics:the crossing property,derivative dispersion relation,and optical theorem.The use of such machinery facilitates the derivation of analytic formulas for a wide set of the measured global scattering parameters and some important relations between them.The suggested parameterizations approximate the energy dependence for the total cross section and ρ-parameter for pp and pp with a statistically acceptable quality in the multi-TeV region.Additionally,the qualitative description is obtained for important interrelations,namely difference,sum,and ratio of the antiparticle-particle and particle-particle total cross sections.Despite the reduced number of experimental data for the total cross section and p-parameter at the TeV-scale,which complicates any prediction for the beginning of the asymptotic domain,the fitting procedures indicates that asymptotia occur in the energy range 25.5-130 TeV.Moreover,in the asymptotic regime,we obtain α_(P)=1.A detailed quantitative study of the energy behavior of the measured scattering parameters and their combinations in the ultra-high energy domain indicates that the scenario with the generalized formulation of the Pomeranchuk theorem is more favorable with respect to the original formulation of this theorem.
