Reflective ability and its energy dependence

Abstract

We introduce the notion of reflective ability and discuss its energy dependence using rational form of unitarization. Correspondence with the phase of exponential unitarization is traced. Increase of the reflective ability of interaction region starts at the LHC energies. Numerical estimates are given.
