Odderon: models vs experimental data - a short review of recent papers

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-11-20 v1

Abstract

The surprising low TOTEM datum ρpp\rho_{pp} = 0.09±\pm0.01 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 discovery of the Odderon, namely in its maximal form; 2) papers which tried, without success, to find alternative explanations of this result; 3) papers which contest the discovery of the Maximal Odderon. In the present short note we discuss two recent papers belonging to the third category.
