Abstract
The theoretical predictions of the proton-antiproton elastic scatterin g cross section is compared with the recent UA4 data in the Coulomb in terference region at the center-of-mass energy of 541 GeV. The agreeme nt is excellent. A plot of the ratio of the experimental data to the t heoretical prediction shows an oscillation of about (2-3)%. Further ex perimental studies are needed to ascertain whether this oscillation is actually present.
