Abstract
It is well-known that elastic hadronic slopes grow with energy and appear sizeably larger when measured very close to t = 0 than at intermediate t-values. This has been confirmed by the recent p p measurements at the CERN SPS-collider. By comparing the data with a formula derived recently which gives the slope as a function of the four-momentum transfer squared t and of the average multiplicity 〈 n〉, we argue that all the basic properties of hadronic slopes may be attributed to the role of multiparticle unitarity, i.e. to diffraction.
