Abstract
We prove that the leading -plane singularity in the symmetric partial-wave amplitude near should behave like terms of higher order in ; namely, the Pomeranchuk pole (or cut) must be a pair of complex-conjugate poles (cuts) if the total cross sections and , where and denote particle-particle and antiparticle-particle scattering, respectively. We use only unitarity and analyticity to prove this.
