Gribov's Reggeon Calculus: Its Physical Basis and Implications

Abstract The equations of Gribov's Reggeon calculus and the cutting rules of Abramovskii, Gribov and Kancheli are derived from the assumption that processes involving large virtual masses are damped. The discussion is carried out entirely in the s channel and no use is made of the details of any particular field theory. Both the mathematical development and the physical picture which evolves rest on the assumed multiperipheral origin of Regge behavior.
