The Pomeron intercept in $\lambda {\varphi }^3$ theory in 4 Minkowski + 1 compact dimensions

Abstract

We calculate the total cross section for two scalar particles scattering at high energies in $\lambda {\varphi }^3$ theory in five dimensions, four of which are usual Minkowski ones and the fifth is compact. It is shown that the cross section is dominated by exchange of Pomeron whose intercept is larger than in usual four-dimensional case.
