This 1970 monograph is a classic of theoretical physics, written by the distinguished Cambridge professor Rodney Eden (1930–2021). During the late 1960s and early 1970s, before the complete dominance of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the study of strong interactions relied heavily on the S-matrix theory and the complex angular momentum approach. Eden’s work was the definitive text for understanding these sophisticated mathematical frameworks.
The book is primarily devoted to Regge theory (Regge poles), which provides a powerful tool for describing the asymptotic behavior of scattering amplitudes. Eden explores how the singularities in the complex angular momentum plane determine the high-energy behavior of cross-sections. He rigorously details the Froissart bound and other fundamental limits on total cross-sections derived from the axioms of unitarity and analyticity in quantum field theory.
Beyond abstract formalism, Eden consistently relates theory to the emerging experimental data from the world's great accelerators of the era. The text covers the phenomenology of elastic and inelastic scattering, the role of Pomerons, and the analytic properties of Feynman diagrams. Published in the USSR by Nauka under the prestigious editorship of Academician Anatoly Logunov, this translation became a cornerstone for the Soviet school of theoretical physics, bridging Western and Eastern research on the dynamics of strong interactions.
