Abstract

With use of a new C+N C+N amplitude which correctly accounts for CNI to all orders in α\alpha the values of the parameters ρpp,σ\mboxtotpp\rho^{pp},\sigma_{\mbox{tot}}^{pp} and BppB^{pp} are analysed on the basis of data published by the TOTEM and ATLAS collaborations at energy s=13\sqrt{s}= 13 TeV . The result of both joint and separate analyses of these data confirmed, in particular, a noticeable difference between the central values of σtotpp\sigma^{pp}_{tot}, as measured by the TOTEM and by the ATLAS-ALFA, reaching up to 8 standard deviations.
