Following a prior analysis of measured pp elastic differential cross sections, the impact parameter representation in terms of profile functions is calculated from two different parametrizations of single diffractive dissociation data. The derivative of this quantity with respect to the collision energy squared s measures the growth rate of the reaction’s blackness. Its distribution in impact p...
