Abstract

The Froissart bound limmits the asymptotic s->infinity behavior of crossections by (π/t₀) ln ² (s/(s₀) where t₀ is the lightest exchanged particle, or more generally the nearest ssingularity, in the t channel. We suggest that in comparing this bound with data at energies less than those of LHC, gluebaall masses raather than the small pion mass should be used for (t₀)^1/2.
