Measurements of the differential and total cross sections for the $p d \to ^3$He $\eta$ reaction at five energies were recently reported [Phys. Rev. C {\bf 75}, 014004 (2007)] and comparisons with theoretical models were made. We point out…
Surprisingly enough, the ratio of elastic to inelastic cross sections of proton interactions increases with energy in the interval correspond- ing to ISR - LHC (i.e. from 10 GeV to 10 TeV). That leads to special features of their spatial…
