MODEL-INDEPENDENT ODDERON RESULTS BASED ON TOTEM DATA ON ELASTIC PROTON-PROTON SCATTERING AT 8 TeV
We complete the model-independent analysis of the scaling properties of the differential cross section of elastic proton-proton cross sections, including new TOTEM data published in 2022 at √s = 8 TeV. We separate the signal and background regions with a new gating method. In the signal region, we find that the statistical significance of the Odderon exchange from the combined 7.0 and 8.0 TeV pp d
