Black disk, maximal Odderon and unitarity

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-03-16 v2

Abstract

We argue that the so-called maximal Odderon contribution breaks the `black disk' behaviour of the asymptotic amplitude, since the cross section of the events with Large Rapidity Gaps grows faster than the total cross section. That is the `maximal Odderon' is not consistent with the unitarity.
