Abstract
We calculate total hadron-hadron cross sections at high energies using the Low-Nussinov two-gluon model of the Pomeron. The gluon exchange is represented by a phenomenological potential including screened color-Coulomb, screened confining, and spin-spin interactions. We use bound-state wave functions obtained from a potential model for mesons, and a Gaussian wave function for a proton. We evaluate total cross sections for collisions involving pion, kaon, rho, phi, D, J/psi, psi', Upsilon, Upsilon', and the proton. We find that the total cross sections increase with the square of the sum of the root-mean square radii of the colliding hadrons, but there are variations arising from the spin-spin interaction. We also calculate the total cross sections of a mixed-color charmonium state on a pion and on a proton. The dependence of the total cross section on the size and the color state of the charmonium is investigated.
