Limited validity of West and Yennie integral formula for elastic scattering of hadrons

Abstract

The commonly used West and Yennie integral formula for the relative phase between the Coulomb and elastic hadronic amplitudes might be consistently applied to only if the hadronic amplitude had the constant ratio of the real to the imaginary parts al all kinematically allowed values of four momentum transfer squared.
