Abstract
Proton-proton scattering in the CERN-ISR energy region is analysed in terms of the Chou-Yang type diffraction model. It is shown that the break structure and the position of dip strongly correlate to each other. The “Born” amplitude, or the Fourier-Bessel transform of the eikonal is seen to be approaching to the proton electromagnetic form factor as the total energy increases. Prediction of the total cross section σt and the forward slope b at Ecm=62 GeV is attempted and 44.8 ≲σt ≲44.7 mb and 13.2 ≲b ≲13.8 (GeV/c)-2 are obtained. Some remarks are made about the Kuroda-Miyazawa model.Keywords
