On supposed oscillations of differential cross sections in pp-scattering at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV
The question of possible existence of oscillations in the region of the diffraction peak in pp-scattering is considered in detail at sqrt{s}=13 TeV. It is shown that within the framework of the available experimental data published by the TOTEM and ALFA/ATLAS collaborations, raising the question of searching for such a subtle effect looks premature.

ATLAS vs TOTEM: Disturbing Divergence
With use of a new $ C+N $ amplitude which correctly accounts for CNI to all orders in $α$ the values of the parameters $ρ^{pp},σ_{\mbox{tot}}^{pp}$ and $B^{pp}$ are analysed on the basis of data published by the TOTEM and ATLAS collaborations at energy $\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV . The result of both joint and separate analyses of these data confirmed, in particular, a noticeable difference between the central values of $σ^{pp}_{tot}$, as measured by the TOTEM and by the ATLAS-ALFA, reaching up to 8 standard deviations.
