Abstract

With analytical representation for the pp scattering amplitudes introduced and tested at lower energies, a description of high precision is given of the dσ/dtd\sigma/dt data at s\sqrt{s}= 13 TeV for all values of the momentum transfer, with explicit identification of the real and imaginary parts. In both tt and bb coordinates the amplitudes have terms identified as of non-perturbative and perturbative nature, with distinction of their influences in forward and large t|t| ranges and in central and peripheral regions respectively. In the forward range, the role of the Coulomb-nuclear interference phase is investigated. The energy dependence of the parameters of the amplitudes are reviewed and updated, revealing a possible emergence of a peculiar behavior of elastic and inelastic profiles in b-space for central collisions, which seems to be enhanced quickly at higher energies. Some other models are also briefly discussed in comparison, including the above mentioned behavior in b-space.
