Abstract
Existing data for large-t pp elastic-scattering differential cross-sec tions are energy-independent and behave as t(-8). This has been explai ned in terms of triple-gluon exchange, or alternatively through triple -singlet exchange. A discussion is given of the problems raised by eac h of these explanations, and of the possibility that at RHIC or LHC en ergies the exchange of three BFKL pomerons might result in a rapid ris e with energy.
