Abstract

Amplitudes with total cross-sections rising asymptotically like (logs)\+ require shrinkage of the diffraction peak. For 0 <β+ ≦ 1, it is sufficient to have a leading positive signature trajectory which is regular at t = 0, but not a constant. For 1<β+≦2, the trajectory must have a branch point at t = 0. Explicit amplitudes with complex Pomeranchuk trajectories are given which are compatible with t channel unitarity. The limiting case of maximal absorption is considered briefly.
