Eikonalized mini-jet cross-sections in collisions
In this note we assess the validity and uncertainties in the predictions of
the eikonalised mini-jet model for . We are able
to find a choice of parameters where the predictions are compatible with the
current data. Even for this restricted range of parameters the predictions at
the high c.m. energies, which can be reached at the TeV energy
colliders, differ by about . LEP 2 data can help pinpoint these
parameters and hence reduce the uncertainties in the predictions.Comment: 5 pages, latex, requires epsfig.sty, a4wide.sty, full ps file

Total Cross-sections

Total Photonic and Hadronic Cross-sections
We discuss total cross-sections within the context of the QCD calculable
mini-jet model, highlighting its successes and failures. In particular we show
its description of and compare it with OPAL and L3
data. We extrapolate this result to total cross-sections and propose
a phenomenological ans\"atz for virtual photon cross-sections. We point out
that the good agreement with data obtained with the Eikonal Minijet Model
should not hide the many uncertainties buried in the impact parameter
distribution. A model obtained from Soft Gluon Summation is briefly discussed
and its application to hadronic cross-sections is shown.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, LaTeX, uses aipproc.sty. To appear in the

QCD and Total Cross-sections
We discuss models for total cross-sections, show their predictions for
photon-photon collisions and compare them with the recent LEP measurements. We
show that the extrapolations to high center of mass energies within various
models differ by large factors at high energies and discuss the precision
required from future measurements at the proposed Linear Collider which would
allow to distinguish between them.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, laTeX, requires sprocl.sty, added at the end. To

Photon-Photon total inelastic cross-section
We discuss predictions for the total inelastic gamma-gamma cross-section and
their model dependence on the input parameters. We compare results from a
simple extension of the Regge Pomeron exchange model as well as predictions
from the eikonalized mini-jet model with recent LEP data.Comment: 7 pages, LateX, 2 eps figures. Talk presented at Photon'97, Egmond

Predictions for the total cross-section in the TeV region: an update
In this talk we present an update of model predictions for the total cross-section in the TeV region. The update includes preliminary
results for cross-sections using the Bloch-Nordsieck model for
the overlap function of the partons in the transverse space, use of the CJLK
parametrisation of the photonic parton densities that has recently become
available and extension to the higher energies relevant to the
planned CLIC collider.Comment: Talk presented by A. De Roeck at the International Linear Collider

Exploring CP Violation in the MSSM
We explore the prospects for observing CP violation in the minimal
supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) with six CP-violating
parameters, three gaugino mass phases and three phases in trilinear soft
supersymmetry-breaking parameters, using the CPsuperH code combined with a
geometric approach to maximize CP-violating observables subject to the
experimental upper bounds on electric dipole moments. We also implement
CP-conserving constraints from Higgs physics, flavour physics and the upper
limits on the cosmological dark matter density and spin-independent scattering.
We study possible values of observables within the constrained MSSM (CMSSM),
the non-universal Higgs model (NUHM), the CPX scenario and a variant of the
phenomenological MSSM (pMSSM). We find values of the CP-violating asymmetry
A_CP in b -> s gamma decay that may be as large as 3%, so future measurements
of A_CP may provide independent information about CP violation in the MSSM. We
find that CP-violating MSSM contributions to the B_s meson mass mixing term
Delta M_Bs are in general below the present upper limit, which is dominated by
theoretical uncertainties. If these could be reduced, Delta M_Bs could also
provide an interesting and complementary constraint on the six CP-violating
MSSM phases, enabling them all to be determined experimentally, in principle.
We also find that CP violation in the h_{2,3} tau+ tau- and h_{2,3} tbar t
couplings can be quite large, and so may offer interesting prospects for future
pp, e+ e-, mu+ mu- and gamma gamma colliders.Comment: 36 pages, 32 figure
Total Cross-sections and Bloch-Nordsieck Gluon Resummation
The physics underlying the fall and eventual rise in various total
cross-sections at high energies has been investigated over a decade using a
model based on the Bloch-Nordsieck resummation in QCD. Here a brief review of
our latest results is presented and comparison made with experimental data on
, and total cross-sections.Comment: Presented by G. Pancheri at ISMD04, Sonoma State University. Under

Total Cross Sections
A unified approach to total cross-sections, based on the QCD contribution to
the rise with energy, is presented for the processes , , . For proton processes, a discussion of
the role played by soft gluon summation in taming the fast rise due to
mini-jets is presented. For photon-photon processes, a comparison with other
models indicates the need for precision measurements in both the low and high
energy region, likely only with measurements at future Linear Colliders.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures, LaTeX, uses hsproc.sty and art10.sty. Talk given
