Abstract: (Springer)
Now, are hard collisions really all that easy? To be sure, calculation (not to mention measurement) of hard-collision processes is far from simple, and I mean no disrespect by the title. It is meant in the physicists’ sense that “what is possible to do is easy; the impossible is merely hard.”
