Abstract: There are currently no models readily available that provide nucleon-nucleon spin-dependent scattering amplitudes at high energies ($s\ensuremath{\ge}6$ ${\text{GeV}}^{2}$). This work aims to provide a model for calculating these high energy scattering amplitudes. The foundation of the model is Regge theory since it allows for a relativistic description and full spin dependence. We present our parametrization of the amplitudes, and show comparisons of our solutions to the data set we have collected. Overall the model works as intended, and provides an adequate description of the scattering amplitudes.
