Abstract

We point out to another indication of the black-disk limit exceeding in hadron interactions found in the recent impact parameter analysis performed by the TOTEM Collaboration at TeV and emphasize that this observation might be interpreted as a confirmation of the reflective scattering mode appearance at the LHC energies.
