Eikonal profile functions and amplitudes for $\rm pp$ and $\bar{\rm p}{\rm p}$ scattering

Abstract

The eikonal profile function $J(b)$ obtained from the Model of the Stochastic Vacuum is parametrized in a form suitable for comparison with experiment. The amplitude and the extended profile function (including imaginary and real parts) are determined directly from the complete pp and $\bar{\rm p}$p elastic scattering data at high energies. Full and accurate representation of the data is presented, with smooth energy dependence of all parameters. The changes needed in the original profile function required for description of scattering beyond the forward direction are described.Comment: Latex, 28 pages and 16 figure
