Scientific paper

We show that the proton-proton elastic differential cross section data at intermediate and large values of the momentum transfer squared (dip position and beyond) can be quite well described by a parametrization based on the Tsallis distribution, with only five free fit parameters. By adding two exponential contributions for the diffraction peak region (four free parameters) a global empirical description of all the experimental data at 19.4 - 62.5 GeV and also the experimental information available at 7 TeV (LHC) is obtained. Extrapolation of the results suggests that hadrons may not behave as a black-disk at the asymptotic limit.
