Abstract

We present the result of an empirical model for elastic pp scattering at LHC which indicates that the asymptotic black disk limit R = sigma(elastic)/sigma(total) -> 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. (AU)
