We study the total cross-section of high energy collisions in the one-instanton sector of purely bosonic theories with instantons. We find that in the limit g2 → 0, E/E sph = fixed , the leading behavior of the total cross-section is σ lot ~ exp [1/g2(−2S0 + F(E/E sph ))], where S0 is the instanton action. In the electroweak theory at E/E sph ≪ 1, the function F(E/E sph ) is determined by the gauge boson part of the instanton configuration and its explicit form is found.

Abstract The TOTEM experiment at the LHC has performed the first measurement at $$\sqrt{s} = 13\,\mathrm{TeV}$$s=13TeV of the $$\rho $$ρ parameter, the real to imaginary ratio of the nuclear elastic scattering amplitude at $$t=0$$t=0, obtaining the following results: $$\rho = 0.09 \pm 0.01$$ρ=0.09±0.01 and $$\rho = 0.10 \pm 0.01$$ρ=0.10±0.01, depending on different physics assumptions and mathematical modelling. The unprecedented precision of the $$\rho $$ρ measurement, combined with the TOTEM total cross-section measurements in an energy range larger than $$10\,\mathrm{TeV}$$10TeV (from 2.76 to $$13\,\mathrm{TeV}$$13TeV), has implied the exclusion of all the models classified and published by COMPETE. The $$\rho $$ρ results obtained by TOTEM are compatible with the predictions, from other theoretical models both in the Regge-like framework and in the QCD framework, of a crossing-odd colourless 3-gluon compound state exchange in the t-channel of the proton–proton elastic scattering. On the contrary, if shown that the crossing-odd 3-gluon compound state t-channel exchange is not of importance for the description of elastic scattering, the $$\rho $$ρ value determined by TOTEM would represent a first evidence of a slowing down of the total cross-section growth at higher energies. The very low-|t| reach allowed also to determine the absolute normalisation using the Coulomb amplitude for the first time at the LHC and obtain a new total proton–proton cross-section measurement $$\sigma _{\mathrm{tot}} = (110.3 \pm 3.5)\,\mathrm{mb}$$σtot=(110.3±3.5)mb, completely independent from the previous TOTEM determination. Combining the two TOTEM results yields $$\sigma _{\mathrm{tot}} = (110.5 \pm 2.4)\,\mathrm{mb}$$σtot=(110.5±2.4)mb.

In models with physical charged Higgs bosons, the angular distribution of dū→γH− exhibits a factorization property. The differential cross section has a zero at the scattering cos -1(-⅓) in the γH− C.M. frame. The processes [Formula: see text] are also studied. It is found, at high energies, that the contribution of the sea quarks are significant enough to wash the zero away.

We present the dynamical string model of high-energy hadronic processes, developed by us recently. To describe the dynamical aspects of the decay of hadrons and those of the hadron-hadron interaction correctly, a semiclassical unified string-flux tube model of hadrons is used. Specific aspects of this model are discussed: (i) the transverse extension of gluon flux tubes, (ii) the decay of highly excited flux tubes, (iii) the gluon structure functions of hadronic flux tubes and their connection with the total cross section of the flux tube-flux tube interaction at high energies. The dynamical string model is applied to the numerical simulation of e+e− annihilation and pp collision at high energies.

Electromagnetic scattering from a perfectly conducting elliptic disk is treated by means of the null-field approach. The disk is obtained as the zero-thickness limit of an ellipsoid. It is shown that in this limit all relevant matrix elements have a well-defined limit. Owing to the lack of axial symmetry, an integral that can not be solved analytically remains in the azimuthal angle. In an appendix, an efficient algorithm to solve these integrals by means of recurrence relations is presented. The formalism is attractive for numerical computations, and stable results for very eccentric disks have been obtained. The first few terms in the low-frequency expansion of the total cross section are derived. Numerical computations of the scattering amplitude and the total cross section illustrate the theoretical results. In a final appendix, the thin wire limit of the elliptic disk is discussed, and a comparison with corresponding results of a prolate spheroid is presented.
