Supercritical Pomeron and eikonal representation of the diffraction scattering amplitude

Abstract

The intercept of the supercritical Pomeron is examined with the use of different forms of the scattering amplitudes of the bare Pomeron. The one-to-one correspondence between the eikonal phase and the ratio of the elastic and total cross section is shown. Based on new experimental data of the CDF Collaboration, the intercept and power of the logarithmic growth of the bare and total Pomeron amplitude are analyzed. It is shown that as a result of the eikonalization procedure, the bare QCD Pomeron becomes compatible with experiment.
