Description

We look for evidence of large cross sections at large multiplicities in weakly coupled scalar field theory in three dimensions. We use spectral function sum rules to derive bounds on total cross sections where the sum can be expressed in terms of a quantity which can be measured by Monte Carlo simulation in Euclidean space. We find that high multiplicity cross sections remain small for energies and multiplicities for which large effects had been suggested
