We study the interplay of hadronic and Coulomb interactions for pp scattering at LHC energies on the basis of the previous determination of the real part of the amplitude [V. V. Anisovich, V. A. Nikonov and J. Nyiri, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 30, 1550188 (2015)]. The interference of hadron and Coulomb interactions is discussed in terms of the K-matrix function technique. Supposing the black disk mode for the asymptotic interaction of hadrons, we calculate interference effects for the energies right up to [Formula: see text] TeV. It turns out that the real part of the amplitude is concentrated in the impact parameter space at the border of the black disk that results in a growth of interplay effects with the energy increase.
