The High Energy Behavior of the Forward Scattering Parameters \sigma total $\rho$, and $B$
Abstract
Utilizing the most recent experimental data, we reanalyze high energy \pbar p and pp data, using two distinct (and {\em dissimilar}) analysis techniques: (1) asymptotic amplitude analysis, under the assumption that we have reached `asymptopia', and (2) an eikonal model whose amplitudes are designed to mimic real QCD amplitudes. The former gives strong evidence for a dependence at {\em current} energies and {\em not} , and demonstrates that odderons are {\em not} necessary to explain the experimental data. The latter gives a unitary model for extrapolation into true `asymptopia' from current energies, allowing us to predict the values of the total cross section at future supercolliders. Using our QCD-model, we obtain \,mb and \,mb.
