Reflecting disk with black edge

Abstract

We discuss geometrical picture of hadron interactions and, in particular, the presence of energy--invariant edge in elastic scattering resulting from a transition to the reflective scattering mode which is supported by the recent LHC data. The energy-invariant edge represents a black ring around the reflecting disk.
