Table 6 Summary table of the elastic cross-sections \(\sigma _\mathrm{el}\), the nuclear slope parameters B, with references. We have indexed with superscript A the type A, point-to-point fluctuating systematic and statistical errors, that can be added in quadrature, while type B errors (point-to-point changing, fully correlated systematic errors) are indicated with superscript B and type C errors (overall correlated, but \(-t\) independent errors) are indicated with superscript C. Note that the value and the type A error of the elastic cross-section \(\sigma _\mathrm{el}\) at \(\sqrt{s} = 1.96\) TeV [*] is obtained from a low \(-t\) exponential fit to data of Ref. [8], while the type C error is directly taken from the publication [8]
