IntroductionAs is well-known as Froissart-Martin unitarity bound, Increase of tot. cross section tot is at most log2: However, before 2002, it was not known whether this increase is described by logor log2 in p scattering.Therefore we have proposed to use rich inf. of tot(p) in accel. energy reg. through FESR. log2 preferredThis preference has also been confirmed by Block,Halzen04,05.

For , we searched for the simultaneous best fit of and up to some energy(e.g.,ISR) in terms of high-energy parameters constrained by FESR.

We then predicted and in the LHC and high-energy cosmic-ray regions.

Universal rise of tot?

Statement : Rise of tot at super-high energies is universal by COMPETE collab., that is, the coefficient B in front of log2(s/s0) term is universal for all processes with N and targets

Particle Data Group06(by COMPETE collab.)

Assuming universal B, tot is fitted by log2 for various processes:pp, -p, p, Kp, p: energy in lab.system

Result in PDG06 by COMPETEB is taken to be universal from the beginning. N NN assumed at super-high energies! Analysis guided strongly by theory !

Particle Data Group 2006stated that models with asymp. terms works much better than models with or was confirmed by [Igi,Ishida02,05], [Block,Halzen04,05].

Both these refs., however, questioned the statement (by [COMPETE Collab.]) on the universality of the coeff. of the log2(s/s0). The two refs. give different predictions at superhigh energies: N > NN [Igi,Ishida02,05] N 2/3 NN [Block,Halzen04,05]

Purpose of my talkis to investigate the value of B for pp, pp, p, Kpin order to test the universality of B(the coeff. of log2(s/s0) terms) with no theoretical bias.

The tot and ratio(Re f/Im f) are fitted simultaneously, using FESR as a constraint.

FESRWe have obtained FESR in the spirit of P sum rule:This gives directly a constraint for p scattering:For pp, Kp scatterings, problem of unphysical region. Considering N=N1 and N=N2, taking the difference, unphysical regionsbetween these two relations, we obtain1962

FESRIntegral of cross sections are estimated with sufficient accuracy (less than 1%).We regard these rels. as exact constraints between high energy parameters: P, c0, c1, c2

The general approachThe tot (k > 20GeV) and (k > 5GeV) are fitted simultly. for resp. processes: High-energy params. c2,c1,c0,P,V are treated as process-dependent. (F(+)(0) : additional param.) FESR used as a constraint P=P(c2,c1,c0) # of fitting params. is 5 for resp. processes. COMPETE B = (4 / m2 ) c2 ; m = Mp, , mK Check the universality of B parameter.

ConclusionsPresent experimental data are consistent with the universality of B, that is, the universal rise of the tot in super-high energies.Especially, 2/3 [Block,Halzen05], which seems natural from quark model, is disfavoured.

Comparison with Other GroupsOur Bpp=0.289(23)mb (P=0.5 case) is consistent with B=0.308(10) by COMPETE, obtained by assuming universality.Our Bpp is also consistent with 0.2817(64) or 0.2792(59)mb by Block,Halzen, 0.263(23), 0.249(40)sys(23)stat by Igi,Ishida06,05Our Bpp is located between the results by COMPETE02 and Block,Halzen05.
