Hi!
On page 12 of http://pdg.lbl.gov/2009/reviews/rpp2009-rev-cross-section-plots.pdf one can see the total cross section increasing beyond a certain treshold. At higher energy protons (and their quarks) have a shorter wave length and so they can become closer an closer and the strong force should become smaller and smaller. Then the cross section should decrease. Where is my mistake?
