Froissart bound

Constraint on particle cross sections

In particle physics the Froissart bound, or Froissart limit, is a generic constraint that the total scattering cross section of two colliding high-energy particles cannot increase faster than c ln 2 ( s ) {\displaystyle c\ln ^{2}(s)} , with c a normalization constant and s the square of the center-of-mass energy (s is one of the three Mandelstam variables).[1]
