Abstract: (Elsevier)
We propose a simple absorptive model for multihadron production in which the zero strength limit ( g → 0) of the strong interactions is a vector theory, the Pomeron intercept is predicted to be at α p =1 for any value of g , and the leading non-Pomeron singularity is at α R =1− g 2 . Themodel can accommodate correlations and incorporates the unitarity (Froissart) bound. Other properties of the model are discussed.
