The new elastic scattering measurements of TOTEM --- are there hints for asymptotics?

Abstract

We point out to another indication of the black-disk limit exceeding in hadron interactions found in the recent impact parameter analysis performed by the TOTEM Collaboration at $\sqrt{s}$=8 TeV and emphasise that this observation might be interpreted as a confirmation of the reflective scattering mode appearance at the LHC energies.
