Eikonalise minijet model Predictions for Cross-Sections of Photon Induced Processes

In this talk we present the results of an analysis of total and inelastic hadronic cross-sections for photon induced processes in the framework of an eikonalised minijet model(EMM). We fix the various input parameters to the EMM calculations by using the data on photoproduction cross-sections and then make predictions for σ(γγ→hadrons) using same values of the parameters. We then compare our predictions with the recent measurements of σ(γγ→hadrons) from LEP.We also show that in the framework of the EMM the rise with √s of the total/inelastic cross-sections will be faster for photon induced processes than for the processes induced by hadrons like protons.
