Abstract
A method for analyzing high energy elastic scattering data is described, which improves on previous methods to extract {sigma}{sub tot}, {sigma}{sub el}, B, and {rho}=ReM(0)/ImM(0) from experiment by properly allowing for the curvature of 1nd{sigma}/dt with t. The method is used to make a critical analysis of data at {radical}s=19.4, 546, and 1800 GeV. It is found that previous analyses systematically underestimate the forward slope B. The large value of {rho} obtained by UA4 at {radical}s=546 GeV is shown to be doubtful. The method described here should aid in the analysis of forthcoming data from UA4/2 and E710. (orig.).
