Direct-channel option of the forward slope increase
S.M. Troshin, N.E. Tyurin

TL;DR
This paper examines the limitations of simple Regge pole models in explaining the forward slope increase in LHC elastic scattering data, proposing unitarization in the direct channel as a potential solution.
Contribution
It introduces the concept of direct-channel unitarization to better explain the forward slope increase observed in experimental data.
Findings
Simple Regge pole models are insufficient for LHC elastic scattering data.
Unitarization in the direct channel offers a plausible explanation.
The paper provides an illustrative discussion of the direct-channel approach.
Abstract
The LHC data on the elastic scattering indicate that the forward slope increase is not consistent with the contributions of the simple Regge poles only with the linear Regge trajectories. The dynamics might be associated with unitarization in the direct channel of reaction. We discuss the problems of the Regge model and provide a respective illustration of the direct-channel option.
