Did TOTEM experiment discover the Odderon?

TL;DR

This paper argues that the TOTEM experiment's recent measurements provide the first experimental evidence for the Odderon, a theoretical concept in particle physics, in its maximal form.

Contribution

It presents the first experimental indication of the Odderon based on TOTEM data, supporting its existence in high-energy proton-proton scattering.

Findings

TOTEM datum $ ho^{pp} = 0.098 \

Evidence for the maximal Odderon

First experimental discovery of the Odderon

Abstract

The present study shows that the new TOTEM datum $\rho^{pp} = 0.098 \pm 0.01$ can be considered as the first experimental discovery of the Odderon, namely in its maximal form.
