Reflective ability and its energy dependence

TL;DR

This paper introduces the concept of reflective ability in particle interactions, explores its energy dependence through unitarization methods, and finds that reflective ability increases starting at LHC energies, supported by numerical estimates.

Contribution

It presents a new concept of reflective ability and analyzes its energy dependence using rational unitarization, linking it to phase behavior in exponential unitarization.

Findings

Reflective ability increases at LHC energies.

Correspondence with phase of exponential unitarization established.

Numerical estimates support the increase of reflective ability.

Abstract

We introduce the notion of reflective ability and discuss its energy dependence using rational form of unitarization. Correspondence with the phase of exponential unitarization is traced. Increase of the reflective ability of interaction region starts at the LHC energies. Numerical estimates are given.
