Abstract

We consider the contribution of the Odderon to diffractive pppp and ppˉp\bar p elastic scattering at large center of mass energy. We identify the Odderon and Pomeron with the Reggeized 1±1^{\pm-} and 2++2^{++} glueballs in the bulk, respectively. We use for the gravity dual description the repulsive wall model, to account for the proper Gribov diffusion for off-forward scattering. The eikonalized and unitarized amplitudes exhibit a vanishingly small rho-parameter, and a slope parameter fixed by twice the closed string slope. The results for the differential and total cross sections are compared to the empirical results reported recently by the TOTEM collaboration.
