Abstract

Monte Carlo phase space calculations of the overlap function for Chan-Loskiewicz-Allison and Chew-Pignotti models were performed up to laboratory momentum 1500 GeV. Slope of the overlap function was found about four times smaller than the experintal value. Shrinkage of the elastic peak is close to that found in experiment. The qualitative explanation of these results is given, and the discrepancy with the recent estimates obtained by Hamer and Peierls, Hwa, and Henyey is explained. Finally, our analysis shows that the random walk picture of the multiperipheral models is not valid for realistic density of particles in rapidity scale.
