Abstract

Odderon is the CC-odd amplitude that does not fall (or decrease very slowly) with energy. The expected amplitude is small and mainly real. Therefore, extracting it from the data on top of a much larger CC-even contribution is challenging. The only chance is to consider the very low t|t| region of Coulomb nuclear interference or the diffractive dip region. Here we perform the analysis of elastic scattering pppp and pˉp\bar pp data at low momentum transfer t<0.1|t| < 0.1 GeV2^2 within large collider energy interval s=50\sqrt s = 50 GeV - 13 TeV in order to evaluate quantitatively the possible Odderon contribution. We use the two-channel eikonal model, which naturally accounts for the screening of the Odderon amplitude by the CC-even (Pomeron) exchanges.
