Semiclassical model for rising cross sections

Abstract
The optical model is extended to incorporate diffractive excitations. The physical significance of cross sections rising indefinitely with energy becomes manifest in this model, and predictions result for various inclusive cross sections. These predictions accord well with existing data and open new avenues of approach to problems such as the production of particles with large transverse momenta.
