Abstract

Abstract The TOTEM collaboration has measured the elastic proton-proton differential cross section $$\mathrm{d}\sigma /\mathrm{d}t$$dσ/dt at $$\sqrt{s}=13$$s=13 TeV LHC energy using dedicated $$\beta ^{*}=90$$β=90 m beam optics. The Roman Pot detectors were inserted to 10$$\sigma $$σ distance from the LHC beam, which allowed the measurement of the range [0.04 GeV$$^{2}$$2; 4 GeV$$^{2}$$2$$]$$] in four-momentum transfer squared |t|. The efficient data acquisition allowed to collect about 10$$^{9}$$9 elastic events to precisely measure the differential cross-section including the diffractive minimum (dip), the subsequent maximum (bump) and the large-|t| tail. The average nuclear slope has been found to be $$B=(20.40 \pm 0.002^{\mathrm{stat}} \pm 0.01^{\mathrm{syst}})~$$B=(20.40±0.002stat±0.01syst)GeV$$^{-2}$$-2 in the |t|-range 0.04–0.2 GeV$$^{2}$$2. The dip position is $$|t_{\mathrm{dip}}|=(0.47 \pm 0.004^{\mathrm{stat}} \pm 0.01^{\mathrm{syst}})~$$|tdip|=(0.47±0.004stat±0.01syst)GeV$$^{2}$$2. The differential cross section ratio at the bump vs. at the dip $$R=1.77\pm 0.01^{\mathrm{stat}}$$R=1.77±0.01stat has been measured with high precision. The series of TOTEM elastic pp measurements show that the dip is a permanent feature of the pp differential cross-section at the TeV scale.
