N=4 SYM model for soft intertactions at high energy    [PDF]

E Levin, I. Potashnikova

In this paper we compare the prediction for high energy soft interactions in
the model of N=4 SYM, with the experimental data. It is shown that this model
is able to describe the total, elastic and inelastic cross sections and the
elastic slope with only three free parameters. However, the model failed to
obtain the cross sections for diffractive production, which was close to the
experimental data, giving small values for them. We believe that the theory of
N=4 SYM, of the order of $1/\lambda$ is needed to find the origin of large mass
diffraction.
