Abstract
The small-angle elastic scattering for at GeV and for at GeV are measured. The data are normalized on Coulomb scattering. Using the optical theorem and the best estimate of the real part of the forward scattering amplitude, , we obtain mb for the total cross section and for the nuclear slope parameter. This supports the dispersion relation prediction that will start to rise above GeV.
