About AKM scaling and oscillations in elastic scattering at very small momentum transfer at the LHC
Abstract
The ATLAS and TOTEM collaborations have measured the differential elastic cross section at centre-of mass energy $\sqrt{s}$=13 TeV and at small four-moment squared $|t|$. The data at very small $|t|$ i.e. $|t|<0.01GeV^{2}$ have been analysed in terms of so called AKM (Auberson, Kinoshita and Martin) oscillations. An indication of a possible oscillation of this type had previously been reported at $\sqrt{s}$=541 GeV using data from the UA4/2 experiment. There are no such indications in the data at 13 TeV examined here.
