Eikonal Regge Model for Elastic Scattering Processes

Abstract

The Frautschi-Margolis version of the Regge eikonal model is extended to include secondary Regge trajectories. Physical properties of the model are discussed. In particular, the of dσ/dt observed at present energies (rapid shrinkage for pp and K+p, little or no shrinkage for π±p and K-p, antishrinkage for pp is related to the energy dependence of σtot pp and K+p nearly flat, π±p and K-p falling slowly, pp falling rapidly).
