Abstract
We discuss how the reflective scattering would affect elastic scattering in the region of small and moderate values of −t, in particular, we demonstrate that diffractive pattern in the angular distribution will be kept in a modified form. 1 Diffraction is a fascinating subject in the light of coming experiments at the LHC. The term diffraction was introduced to the hadron and nuclei scattering with use of optical analogy. This adoption was based on the striking similarities observed in hadron and nuclei scattering and light diffraction by absorbing obstacles. The absorption in hadron and nuclei scattering is considered to be a result of opening many inelastic channels at high energies. Angular distribution in this absorptive approach has typical diffraction pattern with prominent forward peak and secondary maxima and minima and can be associated with wave properties of particle scattering. In the recent paper [1] we considered saturation of the unitarity condition for
