Results of a theoretical calculation of the differential cross sections of elastic proton-proton scattering at energies in the range 2–7000 GeV with two relativistic spin amplitudes are analyzed within the framework of the mathematical eikonal method. It is shown that taking account the contribution of heavy meson resonances improves the agreement between the theoretical calculations and the experimental data somewhat in the region of large momentum transfers.
