%0 Journal Article %T Interplay of total cross sections and ratios of real to imaginary parts of hadron amplitudes %A I. M. Dremin %J Physics %D 2013 %I arXiv %R 10.1134/S0021364013100032 %X The impact of different assumptions about high energy behavior of the total cross section of proton-proton interactions on the ratio of the real to imaginary part of the forward elastic scattering amplitude is analyzed. It is shown how experimental data about this ratio at LHC energies can help in the proper choice of the asymptotic dependence of the total cross section. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.5345v2
