Tóm tắt

We speculate on the implications of the ground-state meson decay constantf π≅93 MeV setting the scale for hadron dynamics. On this basis we conjecture that the asymptotic cross-sections obey σπN /σ K N =f K /f π in agreement with experiment. We also find σππ=π/12f π 2 ≃14 so that the pion decay constant scales the asymptotic cross-section.
