An Empirical Model For Pp Scattering And Geometrical Scaling

We present the result of an empirical model for elastic pp scattering at LHC which indicates that the asymptotic black disk limit R = σelastic/σtotal → 1/2 is not yet reached and discuss the implications on classical geometrical scaling behavior. We propose a geometrical scaling law for the position of the dip in elastic pp scattering which allows to make predictions valid both for intermediate and asymptotic energies.
