Abstract

The current model of elastic nucleon scattering based on hadronic amplitude with dominant imaginary part is still made use of in analyses of measured data even if it involves assumptions being not in harmony with known experimental facts. These assumptions are critically examined and a more general model is considered. Possible consequences following for elastic and diffractive production channels from such a model approach are discussed. An opaque nucleon structure against a transparent one is shown to be preferred.
