Topics on High-Energy Elastic Hadron Scattering

We review the main results we have obtained in the area of high-energy elastic hadron scattering and presented in this series of Workshops on Hadronic Interactions. After an introduction to some basic experimental and theoretical concepts, we survey the results reached by means of four approaches: analytic models, model-independent analyses, eikonal models and nonperturbative QCD. Some of the ongoing researches and future perspectives are also outlined.
