The high energy behavior of the forward scattering parameters - an amplitude analysis update
Utilizing the most recent experimental data, we reanalyze high energy pp and pp data, using the asymptotic amplitude analysis, under the assumption that we have reached {open_quotes}asymptopia{close_quotes}. This analysis gives strong evidence for a log (s/s{sub 0}) dependence at current energies and not log{sup 2} (s/s{sub 0}), and also demonstrates that odderons are not necessary to explain the experimental data.
