Abstract

Data on the scattering of charged hadrons reflect both the strong and electromagnetic interactions. We examine the problem of unraveling the "strong" part of the scattering amplitude from the electromagnetic part. Specific prescriptions, involving only the use of observed scattering data, are derived for obtaining the connection between the idealized "strong" scattering amplitude and the observed full scattering amplitude. The importance of the "off-the-mass-shell" or model-dependent corrections, which cannot be obtained directly from observation, are also discussed briefly. These results are equally applicable in the domains of lowenergy nuclear physics and high-energy particle physics.
