Steep rise of parton densities in the limit of small parton momentum fraction x poses a challenge for describing the observed energy-dependence of the total and inelastic proton-proton cross sections σ p p tot / inel : considering a realistic parton spatial distribution, one obtains a too-strong increase of σ p p tot / inel in the limit of very high energies. We discuss various mechanisms which allow one to tame such a rise, paying special attention to the role of parton-parton correlations. In addition, we investigate a potential impact on model predictions for σ p p tot, related to dynamical higher twist corrections to parton-production processes.

We study the total cross-section of high energy collisions in the one-instanton sector of purely bosonic theories with instantons. We find that in the limit g2 → 0, E/E sph = fixed , the leading behavior of the total cross-section is σ lot ~ exp [1/g2(−2S0 + F(E/E sph ))], where S0 is the instanton action. In the electroweak theory at E/E sph ≪ 1, the function F(E/E sph ) is determined by the gauge boson part of the instanton configuration and its explicit form is found.
