Abstract

We derive the asymptotic behavior of elastic meson-meson and baryon-baryon scattering at high energy and fixed angle. Our results organize both Sudakov and nonleading logarithmic corrections to independent (Landshoff) scatterings of valence quarks. We show how to separate these contributions systematically from single-scattering contributions, in a manner which suggests that the complete amplitudes should be computable perturbatively down to the dimensional counting power, in terms of hadronic wave functions.
