Abstract

We derive unitarity inequalities involving Re F(s, t) and Im F(s, t) in a region 0 ⩽ | t | ⩽ | T | which exhaust the content of unitarity given only the elastic amplitude F(s, t) in this range of t. If the Froissart bound is saturated, these inequalities lead to inequalities on Martin's scaling functions. The inequalities may be used to check compatibility with unitarity of theoretical models or experimental data.
