Evidence for maximality of strong interactions from LHC forward data

Abstract

It is important to check if the Froissaron-Maximal Odderon (FMO) approach is the only model in agreement with the LHC data. We therefore generalized the FMO approach by relaxing the ${\ln }^{2}s$ constraints both in the even-and odd-under-crossing amplitude. We show that, in spite of a considerable freedom of a large class of amplitudes, the best fits bring us back to the maximality of strong interaction. Moreover, if we leave Odderon Regge pole intercept ${\alpha }_O(0)$ completely free we find a very good solution for ${\alpha }_O(0)$ near -1 in agreement with the result of oddballs spectroscopy in QCD based on AdS/CFT correspondence.

Section 5 is extended, one reference is replaced, none of results is changed
