~tract
In the course of a systematic study of K+p interactions at 3.0 GeV/c, the
elastic scattering reaction ho.s been investigated. A total of 1720 events were
identified as elastic scatters, giving a cross-section of (4.8 ± .4) mb. The
angular distribution shows characteristic diffraction peaking and was fitted
using dcr ( dcr ) d /t/ = d Jtl 0

is found to be in good <'.l.greement with d<J.tn from neighbouring memento., and confirms
the rnpid decro:::.se in the cross-section implied by tho previous dntr,. The vnlues
of the paro..meters a o.nd ~ are found to lie between the vo.lues found o.t 2.0
nnd 7 GoV/c, o.nd demonstrnto the rapid change of tho nngular distribution in this
region. This effect may bo interproted 2s reflocting tho rapicl cho.nge in the in
elastic cross-section over this snme momentum interval. Although the o.ngulo.r
distribution hc .. s a shape which is typicnl of o. diffraction scattering distri
bution, tho detailed shape cannot be so.tisfnctorily explained by a simple two
parnmoter optical E1odel theory. No ovidenco for the existence of secondary
diffraction peaks in K+p sco.ttering at this energy is observed. Finally, it is
nlso shown that the data indicate the presenco of some real part in the scattering
amplitude, but do not nllow a good determination of the ratio I ~:.ti; the results
obtained show l·i:~l ;-v 0.5 ± 0.3, the result being fairly independent of the Htn
rango used in the fit.
