Derivative Dispersion Relations for the Amplitude Slopes in pp and p-pbar Scattering

Abstract

We extend the use of derivative dispersion relations to the study of slopes of the real and imaginary amplitudes in pp and p-pbar elastic scattering. The new relations are tested against the solutions for the amplitudes obtained in the analysis of the high energy data. Extensions beyond the forward direction are investigated.
