The surprising low TOTEM datum $\rho_{pp}$ = 0.09$\pm$0.01 at 13 TeV \cite{TOTEM-1} generated an important flux of papers, which can be classified in three categories: 1) papers which claim that this result is the first experimental…

This is a quick survey of theoretical and experimental efforts to understand and identify the Odderon.
We analyse the 13 TeV TOTEM data on elastic proton-proton scattering through a thorough statistical analysis, and obtain that $\rho=0.096\pm 0.006$ and $\sigma_{tot}=(107.5\pm 1.5)$ mb. Theoretical errors could lower the cross section by…

The TOTEM 2.76, 7, 8, and 13 TeV pp elastic differential cross sections are extrapolated using a data-driven approach to obtain the 1.96 TeV pp elastic cross section. A difference with a 3.4$\sigma$ significance is observed between the…
