Eikonal Amplitude in the Gravireggeon Model at Superplanckian Energies

Abstract

The gravity effects in high-energy scattering, described by a four-dimensional eikonal amplitude related to gravireggeons induced by compact extra dimensions are studied. It is demonstrated that the real part of the eikonal (with a massless mode subtracted) dominates its imaginary part at both small and large impact parameters, in contrast to the usual case of hadronic high-energy behavior. The real part of the scattering amplitude exhibits an exponential falloff at large momentum transfer, similar to that of the imaginary part of the amplitude.
