On the basis of requirements of unitarity and analyticity we analyze the real and imaginary parts of the scattering amplitude at recent ultrahigh energies, [Formula: see text]. The predictions for the region [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are given supposing the black disk asymptotic regime. It turns out that the real part of the amplitude is concentrated in the impact parameter space at the border of the black disk.

The unitarity condition in the impact parameter space is used to obtain some information about the shape of the interaction region of colliding protons. It is shown that, strictly speaking, a reliable conclusion can be gained only if the behavior of the elastic scattering amplitude (especially, its imaginary part) at all transferred momenta is known. This information is currently impossible to obtain from experimentation. In practice, several assumptions and models are used. They lead to different results as shown below.

Comparative analysis of the interplay of hadron and Coulomb interactions in [Formula: see text] scattering amplitudes is performed in a broad energy interval, [Formula: see text], for two extreme cases: for the asymptotic interactions of hadrons in black disk and resonant disk modes. The interactions are discussed in terms of the [Formula: see text]-matrix function technique. In the asymptotic regime, the real part of the hadronic amplitude is concentrated in both cases on the boundary of the disks in the impact parameter space but the LHC energy region is not asymptotic for the resonant disk mode that lead to a specific interplay of hadronic and Coulombic amplitudes. For the [Formula: see text] scattering at [Formula: see text] an interplay of the hadron and Coulomb interactions in the resonant disk modes is realized in a shoulder in [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text]. The absence of such a shoulder in the data at 8 TeV can be considered as an argument against the resonant disk mode.

In hadron interactions at the LHC energies, the reflective scattering mode starts to play a noticeable role which is expected to be even a more significant beyond the energies of the LHC. This new but still arguable phenomenon implies a peripheral dependence of the inelastic probability distribution in the impact parameter space and asymptotically evolving to the black ring. As a consequence, the straightforward extension to hadrons of the centrality definition adopted for nuclei needs to be modified.

We use an almost model-independent analytical parametrization for pp and [Formula: see text] elastic scattering data to analyze the eikonal, profile and inelastic overlap functions in the impact parameter space. Error propagation in the fit parameters allows estimations of uncertainty regions, improving the geometrical description of the hadron–hadron interaction. Several predictions are shown and, in particular, the prediction for pp inelastic overlap function at [Formula: see text] shows the saturation of the Froissart–Martin bound at LHC energies.

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.
