Abstract
Hadron-proton total cross sections and slope parameters from elastic scattering are found to be closely related. If effective radii are defined by =+, we find from the data = . This geometric factorization property, which holds for c.m. energies √s ≥15 GeV, is understood within the eikonal approach. Total cross sections can be used to deduce hadronic radii of mesons and baryons.
