Pomeranchuk's theorem, named after the Soviet physicist Isaak Pomeranchuk, states that the difference between the cross sections for a particle scattering off another particle and off that particle's antiparticle vanishes as the center-of-mass energy of the collision goes to infinity. The theorem is a foundational result in the study of high-energy particle scattering and total cross sections.
