Scaling of the elastic differential cross section in high-energy collisions of hadrons

We investigate the existence of scaling of the elastic differential cross section with $\mathrm{tb}\left(s\right)\mathrm{}$ as the scaling variable, where $b\left(s\right)\mathrm{}$ is the slope of the diffraction peak. High-energy elastic-scattering data over a wide range of energies exhibit scaling with the above scaling variable. We also note that $t{\left(\ln s\right)}^{22}$ is not a good scaling variable.
