Behavior Of Very High Energy Hadronic Cross Sections

Abstract

The understanding of very energy hadron cross sections in terms of a 'black disc' with an 'edge' is reviewed. The slow approach to 'Asymptopia' is explained by the 'Edge'. The disproportion of length or mass scales involved is probably due to the small pion massa.
