TL;DR
This paper examines whether certain hadronic quantities at LHC energies are approaching their theoretical asymptotic limits, finding evidence that further evolution is possible at current energies.
Contribution
It provides phenomenological analysis suggesting that the asymptotic behaviour of hadronic quantities is not yet fully reached at LHC7 energies.
Findings
Evidence of ongoing evolution in hadronic quantities at LHC7
No definitive asymptotic regime observed yet
Potential for further energy increase to reach asymptotia
Abstract
We discuss whether the behaviour of some hadronic quantities, such as the total cross-section, the ratio of the elastic to the total cross-section, are presently exhibiting the asymptotic behaviour expected at very large energies. We find phenomenological evidence that at LHC7 there is still space for further evolution.
