Abstract
Production of gluon jets becomes a feature of average hadron collisions for multi-TeV energies, leading to a model where interactions are mostly mediated by semihard gluons. We calculate forward scattering in this model as the shadow of the large inelastic cross sections associated with gluon jets. Using Fermilab Tevatron experiment E710 results, we deduce that at 546 GeV is well below the central UA4 value of 0.24, defusing this number as a crucial issue.
