Forward amplitude analyses constitute an important approach in the investigation of the energy dependence of the total hadronic cross-section $sigma_{tot}$ and the $rho$ parameter. The standard picture indicates for $sigma_{tot}$ a leading log-squared dependence at the highest c.m. energies, in accordance with the Froissart-Lukaszuk-Martin bound. Beyond this log-squared (L2) leading dependence, other amplitude analyses have considered a log-raised-to-gamma form (L$gamma$), with $gamma$ as a real free fit parameter. In this case, analytic connections with $rho$ can be obtained either through dispersion relations (derivative forms), or asymptotic uniqueness (Phragmen-Lindeloff theorems). In this work we present a detailed discussion on the similarities and mainly the differences between the Derivative Dispersion Relation (DDR) and Asymptotic Uniqueness (AU) approaches and results, with focus on the L$gamma$ and L2 leading terms. We also develop new Regge-Gribov fits with updated dataset on $sigma_{tot}$ and $rho$ from $pp$ and $bar{p}p$ scattering, in the region 5 GeV-8 TeV. The recent tension between the TOTEM and ATLAS results at 7 TeV and mainly 8 TeV is considered in the data reductions. Our main conclusions are: (1) all fit results present agreement with the experimental data analyzed and the goodness-of-fit is slightly better in case of the DDR approach; (2) by considering only the TOTEM data at the LHC region, the fits with L$gamma$ indicate $gammasim 2.0pm 0.2$ (AU) and $gammasim 2.3pm 0.1$ (DDR); (3) by including the ATLAS data the fits provide $gammasim 1.9pm 0.1$ (AU) and $gammasim 2.2pm 0.2$ (DDR); (4) in the formal and practical contexts, the DDR approach is more adequate for the energy interval investigated than the AU approach. A review on the analytic results for $sigma_{tot}$ and $rho$ from the Regge-Gribov, DDR and AU approaches is presented.
Recent data from LHC13 by the TOTEM Collaboration have indicated an unexpected decrease in the value of the $rho$ parameter and a $sigma_{tot}$ value in agreement with the trend of previous measurements at 7 and 8 TeV. These data at 13 TeV are not si
The role of low-$x$ parton dynamics in dictating the high-energy behavior of forward scattering observables at LHC energies is investigated using a QCD-based model with even-under-crossing amplitude dominance at high-energies. We explore the effects
The two-photon-exchange (TPE) effect plays a key role to extract the form factors (FFs) of the proton. In this work, we present some exact properties on the TPE effect in the elastic $ep$ scattering based on four types of typical and general interact
We present a dispersive analysis of the decay amplitude for $etatoetapipi$ that is based on the fundamental principles of analyticity and unitarity. In this framework, final-state interactions are fully taken into account. Our dispersive representati
In this work the process of elastic hadron scattering is discussed. In particular, scattering amplitudes for the various Pomeron models are compared. In addition, differential elastic cross section as a function of the scattered proton transverse mom
