Abstract
We provide a detailed reconsideration of the theoretical basis for the treatment of Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI) and a corresponding thorough analysis of the procedure of extraction of the basic parameters ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{pp},{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{tot}}^{pp}$, and ${B}^{pp}$ from the TOTEM data at $\sqrt{s}=13\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$. A more substantiated account of CNI, as well as an in-depth statistical analysis of the TOTEM data at low transferred momenta, gives results that differ from those published by the TOTEM collaboration.
