Abstract
Many models predict that soft hadron interactions will enter a new regime at the LHC: the creation of a huge energy of hadron collisions due to the S-matrix reaching the unitarity limit [1]. An analysis of the new effects, discovered on the basis of experimental data at 13 TeV [2, 3] and associated with the specific properties of the hadron potential at large distances, is carried out while taking into account experimental data on elastic pp-scattering obtained by the TOTEM and ATLAS collaborations at large hadron collider energies. Quantitative descriptions of all examined experimental data with minimum fitting parameters are obtained. It is shown that peculiarities determined at a high statistical level make an important contribution in differential cross sections and allow one to research the hadron interactions at large distances. The additional (anomalous) term calculated in \(r\) space can be represented by Gaussian form, and the oscillation term can be approximated by the simple Gaussian form.
