Abstract

We present the results of fitting all data for pppp and pˉp\bar pp scattering at s9.7\sqrt s \geq 9.7 Gev and up to the collider energy with various analytic parametrizations of the elastic forward scattering amplitudes based on the derivative dispersion relation. It is found that the model containing the Pomeron and Reggeon terms with 8 parameters has the most preferred χ2/d.o.f=1.3\chi^2/d.o.f = 1.3, while the Donnachie and Landshoff model with 5 parameters has χ2/d.o.f=2.16\chi^2/d.o.f = 2.16 for a data set of 111 experimental points. The current data however make no clear preference between the ns\ell n s and n2s\ell n^2 s type Pomerons.
