The Model
• is based on Regge fit to pp scattering over wideenergy range (cf. Cudell et al) which fixes non-flip parameters for the Pomeron (simple or multiplepole), a C = −1 vector meson (mainly ω) and aC = +1 tensor meson (mainly f2).
• The non-flip amplitude is
g0(s, 0) = gP (s) + gf(s) + gω(s),
where the functions gR(s) have enery dependenceand phase determined by standard Regge theory.
• The corresponding flip amplitude is determined bythree real, energy independent constants

so
τ(s) = {τP gP (s) + τf gf(s) + τω gω(s)}/g0(s, 0)
• The two constants in τ(21.7) = −0.213 −0.054i determines two relations between the threeconstants τP , τf , τω
• We need one more measurement to fix their values.If one measures the “shape” of the raw asymmetryover the CNI region without knowing the valueof P at that energy one can obtain the neededinformation:
S(pL) =PIm[τ(pL)]
P (κ/2 − Re[τ(pL))]=
Im[τ(pL)]
κ/2 − Re[τ(pL)]

Checking Regge model

I = 1 couplings and proton-proton elastic
scattering
• Because pp scattering involves the exchange of ofI = 1 Regge poles, the ρ and the a2 in particular,we cannot simply use the results above to makepredictions for this case. But we can use thebeautiful new p-jet data and a couple of reasonableassumptions to achive this. We assume (1) atthese energies the proton-proton and neutron-protonunpolarized scattering amplitudes are approximatelyequal and (2) the two I = 1 Regge poles aredegenerate with the corresponding I = 0 Regge poleof the same Charge Conjugation parity, C = −1 forω, ρ and C = +1 for f, a2. Then we can describepp scattering in terms of 3-parameters: τ+, τ− andthe pomeron coupling τP . Since we already knowτP , in some sense, from the pC analysis and wecan determine two parameters from the real andimaginary parts of τ obtained by fitting the p-jetdata, we are in business.

The most important feature of this formula is that the suppression factor of -t has been replaced by the inverse of the slope b .
Cut properties
1. Power behavior very close to pole case, up to logs. Phase the same as pole.
2. C and signature the same as pole3. Both parities present
for pomeron-pole cut
4. No factorization of residues-<++|M|--> so is not forced to vanish at t=0

Pomeron flip
1. If the odderon exists and has a “reasonable” spin-flip coupling there is a good chance of observing it in ANN.
Conclusions
2. The odderon-pomeron cut is essential to producing an observable signal in the small-t region.
3. There is a significant background mainly arising from the -pomeron cut. If the odderon spin-flip is small,
but larger than the pomeron spin-flip, measurements of ANN over a wide energy range will be needed
to separate out the signal
