Abstract: The present phenomenological study investigates a multi-channel model of high-energy hadron interactions by considering a full parton configurations space and the $U$-matrix unitarisation scheme of the elastic amplitude, comparing it to the two-channel model, and examining the consequences of up-to-date high-energy collider data on the best fits to various hadronic observables in $pp$ and $$ collisions. The findings of this study reveal that the data are well-fitted with the multi-channel model and that the difference compared to the two-channel one is negligible. Of particular significance is the observation that the $U$-matrix unitarisation is likely incompatible with uncorrelated pomeron exchange, as suggested by the equivalence between the $U$-matrix multi-channel and eikonal two-channel descriptions. Based on our best fit, predictions for the $ho$ parameter, the double diffractive cross-section, and the elastic differential cross-section are provided. We shed light on the effect of taking into account a multi-channel model on present and future cosmic ray data.
