Abstract
The scattering amplitude with spin-non-fiip and spin-flip components represented by Froissaron, Maximal Odderon as well as by standard Regge poles contributions is considered. From the fit to the data of pp and \(\bar{p}p\) scattering at high energy and not too large momentum transfers we found that this model taking into account the spin is available to describe not only the differential, total cross section and \(\rho \), but also the existing experimental data on polarization. It allows to make some predictions about spin effects at high energies.

Appendices
Appendix A: Simplified FMO model
The simple and dipole Pomerons (Odderons) for both components have a conventional form:
where \({\tilde{s}}=-i(s-2m^2)/2m^2\), \(\xi =\ln ({\tilde{s}})\).
It is important that we use for single and double j-poles the pomeron and odderon intercepts equal to one
avoiding a violation of unitary restriction for total cross sections.
where m is proton mass. A choice of \(\lambda _{\pm }(t)\) is discussed in the Sect. 3.1 .
The tripole terms \(P^{(T)}, O^{(T)}\), containing only asymptotic main components from the Froissaron and Maximal Odderon [38]), which are defined in according with the AKM asymptotic theorem [42]
where \(z_p=r_p\tau \xi , \quad z_o=r_o\tau \xi , \quad \tau =\sqrt{-t/t_0}, \quad t_0=1\, \text {GeV}^2, \quad r_p, r_o\) are constants.
Contributions of the secondary reggeons, f and \(\omega \) have a standard form
Appendix B: Original FMO model
We write here the explicit spin-non-flip terms of the FMO model at \(t\le 0\) [38] just for reader’s convenience. The only difference of [38] is a notation for constants and functions. Spin-flip terms are presented and discussed in Sect. 3.2.
Froissaron and Maximal Odderon are written in the following form
where \(z=2m^2z_t, \quad \xi =\ln (-iz_t), \quad \tau =\sqrt{-t/t_0}, \quad t_0=1\,\,\text {GeV}^2\), \(r_- =r_+ -\delta r_-,\quad \delta r_-\ge 0\).
The effective secondary Regge pole contributions (crossing-even f and crossing-odd \(\omega \)) have the form
In order to perform calculations of the standard pomeron and odderon cuts in explicit analytical form we have made replacement \(z_t\rightarrow z_0=z_t(t=0)\)
This parametrization takes into account a possibility of a non pure exponential behavior of the vertex functions for the standard pomeron and odderon [38].
The factor \(2m^2\) is inserted in amplitudes \(f,\omega , P,O\) in order to have the normalization for amplitudes and dimension of coupling constants (in milliibarns ) coinciding with those in [36].
We have added in the FMO the double pomeron and odderon cuts, PP, OO, PO in their usual standard form without any new parameters as well. Namely,
where \(B_k^{p,o}=b_{1,k}^{P.O}+\alpha '_{P,0}\ln (-iz_0),\quad k=1,2 , \quad b_{1,k}^{P,O}\) are the constants from single pomeron and odderon contributions.
In [38] it was noted that for a better description of the data it is advisable to add to the amplitudes the contributions that mimic some properties of ”hard“ pomeron (\(P^h\)) and odderon (\(O^h\)). We take them in the simplest form
