We find that it is possible to fit very precisely the data when (i) the pion acts as a single entity (no constituent quark structure) and (ii) the diquark is rather large, comparable to the size of the proton.9 pages, 4 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyThe diquark and elastic pion-proton scattering at high energiestext
