Abstract
Small-angle high-energy elastic proton-proton scattering, i.e., the Pomeranchukon contribution, is determined through unitarity in terms of a model for the inelastic intermediate states. These are represented by two contributions: (i) quasielastic production of free pions, described in terms of a -number source current for the pions, assuming factorization of the production amplitude into a part proportional to the elastic amplitude times a part depending on and the proton momenta; (ii) peripheral production of a spectrum of states by the longest range possible force-single-pion exchange. The combination of these two contributions leads to an inhomogeneous integral equation for the elastic amplitude of the form
