Keywords:
Field theory, eikonal approximation, scattering amplitude
Abstract
The asymptotic behavior of the elastic scattering amplitude by the
exchange of graviton between two scalar particles at high energies and fixed momentum transfers is reconsidered in the Logunov-Tavkhelidze equation in the linearized gravitational theory. The corrections to the eikonal approximation in the quasi-potential approach of relative order 1/p is developed with the principal
contributions at high energy. The eikonal expression of scattering amplitude and the formal first correction are derived. The Yukawa potential is applied to discuss the results
