Description
Parameterizations of the pp scattering data at the LHC collision
energies indicate a hollow in the inelasticity profile of the pp
interaction, with, curiously, less absorption for the
head-on collisions than for collisions at a non-zero
impact parameter. We argue that the hollowness in the impact
parameter is a quantum effect; it precludes models of inelastic
collisions where inelasticity is obtained by naive folding of
partonic densities.
