Elastic scattering with and without the odderon

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5641441
We present the results of fitting all data for pp and p{bar p} scattering at {radical}s {ge} 10 GeV and up to the collider energy with various analytic parametrizations of the forward scattering amplitudes involving the Pomeron, Odderon, and Reggeon components. These parametrizations can be thought of as solutions to the simplest derivative dispersion relations that satisfy the maximal asymptotic behaviors or as the unitarized color-singlet multigluon exchange contributions. It is found that the simplest model containing the Pomeron and an exchange-degenerate Reggeon term can describe the data equally well as any other model, thus making the role of the odderon rather insignificant. 26 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
