We suggest definition of effective interaction intensity for soft hadron collisions and discuss its energy dependence in the preasymptotic region. Practical importance of this quantity consists in separation of rising interaction radius from effective interaction intensity increase both contributing to the total cross-section growth. It would be helpful for understanding the origin of this growth at the accelerator energies. The essential feature is that the effective interaction intensity is an experimentally measurable quantity.

增加软强相互作用的有效强度

我们建议定义软强子碰撞的有效相互作用强度，并讨论其在渐近区的能量依赖性。这个量的实际重要性在于将上升的相互作用半径与有效相互作用强度的增加分开，两者都有助于总横截面的增长。这将有助于了解加速器能量增长的起源。本质特征是有效相互作用强度是一个实验可测量的量。
