Abstract
The available data on elastic scattering at the LHC at large momentum transfer in the range have been analyzed in terms of possible oscillating structures. A clearly significant structure is seen in the data from the TOTEM collaboration at 13 TeV. Data measured by the same collaboration at 2.76~TeV, 7~TeV and 8~TeV are not statistically significant to confirm or reject the observation at~13 TeV. More data are needed to understand if the effect is real or an experimental artefact
