It is well known that any improvement of the Froissart bound leads to the proof of the Pomeranchuk theorem for constant total cross-sections. (Seee.g.,R. E. Mickens:Lett. Nuovo Cimento,3,428 (1970).) Thus,F(s,t) represents either the particle or antiparticle amplitude and the total cross-sections tend to the same constant limits. Also, since experimentally the ratio ReF(s,0)/ImF(s,0) is either decreasing or constant with energy, we have chosen the form forF(s,0) given in eq.(1).
