Abstract
We reexamine the two-component duality of Harari and Freund (HF) following some suggestions that it may possibly be wrong in its present form. Assuming the dominant contributions to the Pomeron come from multiparticle exchanges in the s channel, the Pomeron is constructed by the use of conformal mapping and polynomial expansions. The P+f model constructed with this Pomeron and the standard Regge poles shows good agreement with the experimental data for total cross sections and the ratios of real to imaginary parts of the forward scattering amplitudes of pp, ..pi..p, and Kp. The analysis admits strong exchange degeneracy implying consistency with HF duality. This Pomeron, however, represents the totality of vacuum-exchange contributions, rather than a single exchange characterized by a simple pole in complex J plane.
