Description

We argue that the production of gluon jets, a rare occurrence at low energy, becomes a feature of average hadron collisions at very high energies, √s > 1 TeV. This inspires a model where hadron interactions are mediated by semi-hard gluons rather than valence quarks. We calculate forward scattering as the shadow of the large inelastic cross sections associated with gluon jets. In this type of model the total cross section and event structure at future hadron colliders could be very different from what is routinely anticipated. (orig.)
