On the transverse size of hadrons at asymptotically high energies

Abstract

We show that Gribov diffusion of the partons in the impact parameter plane, which leads to the square-root-of-logarithmic growth of the transverse size of the hadrons, can occur only simultaneously with a similar diffusion in the transverse-momentum space. At the same time, a restriction of the partons in the transverse momenta entails an increase in their propagation in the impact parameter plane. Ultimately this leads to a logarithmic growth of the transverse size of hadrons at asymptotically high energies.
