The Interplay between Data and Theory in Recent Unitarity Models

Abstract

The role of data analysis in the formation of recent unitarity models is discused and evaluated. It is claimed that present support for multi Pomeron enhancement beyond the zero order is marginal and should be checked at LHC and Auger.
