A unified approach to total cross-sections, based on the QCD contribution to the rise with energy, is presented for the processes $pp$, $p{\bar p}$, $\gamma p, \gamma \gamma, e^+e^- \to hadrons$. 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.

Central Exclusive Particle Production at High Energy Hadron Colliders (2010, background): “It is also far from clear that amplitudes are dominated by a single Regge pole at high energies, although there is some indication that this is so in the case of hadron-hadron elastic scattering at small (but not too small) values of t [11, 12].”
