A contraction of the Poincaré group suitable for high energy
Abstract
A covariance group suitable for describing ultrarelativistic kinematics is constructed through an Inönü-Wigner contraction of the Poincaré group. Eikonalization, helicity conservation and impact parameter representation arise as a consequence of our scheme.
