Near forward p-p and anti p-p elastic scattering: Slope analysis of existing data

An analysis of nuclear slope parameters bsub(p-p) and bsub(anti p-p), evaluated at low vertical stroketvertical stroke as a function of s, is given. We use t = 0 amplitudes found in a previous communication, and analyse elastic scattering data in the low vertical stroketvertical stroke region for both p-p and anti p-p reactions, in terms of even and odd hadronic slope parameters, parametrized as bsub(+) = Csub(+) + Dsub(+) ln s + Esub(+) In2s and bsub(-) = Csub(-) + Dsub(-) In s. Extraplolations are made to collider energies. (orig.)
