Abstract

The data on $\mathrm{p}\overline{\mathrm{p}}$ elastic scattering at 1.8 and 1.96 TeV are analyzed in terms of real and imaginary amplitudes, in a treatment with high accuracy, covering the whole $t$ range, and satisfying the expectation of dispersion relation for amplitudes and for slopes. A method is introduced for the determination of the total cross section and the other forward scattering parameters and to check compatibility of E-710, CDF, and the recent D0 data. Slopes ${B}_{R}$ and ${B}_{I}$ of the real and imaginary amplitudes, treated as independent quantities, influence the amplitudes in the whole $t$ range and are important for the determination of the total cross section. The amplitudes are fully constructed, and a prediction is made of a marked dip in $d\ensuremath{\sigma}/dt$ in the $|t|$ range $3--5\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}$ due to the universal contribution of the process of three-gluon exchange.
