Abstract

Recently, Andre Martin has proved a rigorous upper bound on the inelastic cross section σinel at high energy, which is one-fourth of the known Froissart-Martin-Lukaszuk upper bound on σtot. Here, we obtain an upper bound on σinel in terms of σtot and show that the Martin bound on σinel is improved significantly with this added information.
