Glauber theory can describe elastic scattering of ..cap alpha.. particles by /sup 4/He, /sup 3/He, /sup 2/H, and /sup 1/H at 7 GeV/c if the phase of the nucleon-nucleon elastic-scattering amplitude varies with momentum transfer. The phase variation leads to diffraction patterns differing markedly from those typical of constant-phase calculations and greatly affects the magnitudes of the intensities. These changes are mainly due to changes in the interference between amplitudes for different orders of multiple scattering and to a decrease in their moduli.
