Abstract
Based on geometric scaling of elastic and possibly cross-sections, we derive simple formulae for the complex crossing-even and crossing-odd scattering amplitudes in terms of two interaction radii: and , respectively. Employing the COMPETE parametrization of the total cross-sections, we reproduce and parameters with high accuracy, however we miss the 13~TeV TOTEM and ATLAS points. We show that a slight modification of the total cross-section corresponding to the Odderon, allows to accommodate 13~TeV data.
