Abstract: We obtain the matter-graviton scattering amplitude in the gravitational theory of quadratic curvature, which has term in the action. Unitarity bound is not satisfied because of the existence of negative norm states, while an analog of unitarity bound for -matrix unitarity holds due to the cancelation among the positive norm states and negative norm ones in the unitarity summation in the optical theorem. The violation of unitarity bound is a counter example of Llewellyn Smith's conjecture on the relation between tree-level unitarity and renormalizability. We have recently proposed a new conjecture that an analog of the unitarity bound for -matrix unitarity gives the equivalent conditions to those for renormalizability. We show that the gravitational theory of quadratic curvature is a nontrivial example consistent with our conjecture.
