Strings and High Energy Scattering

While early string theory provided an intriguing explanation for the observed Regge trajectories of meson resonances, it failed to reproduce the correct high energy behavior of scattering amplitudes. This has changed with the AdS/CFT correspondence. In fact, string theory can now produce precision results even in the multi-Regge regime. In this note we review the status of high energy scattering in planar $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super-Yang--Mills theory, at weak, strong and intermediate coupling, with a focus on its integrability and the relation to string theory.
