    The TOTEM collaboration has measured the elastic proton-proton differential cross section d σ / d t at s = 13  TeV LHC energy using dedicated β ∗ = 90  m beam optics. The Roman Pot detectors were inserted to 10 σ distance from the LHC beam, which allowed the measurement of the range 0.04 GeV 2 ; 4 GeV 2 in four-momentum transfer squared | t |. The efficient data acquisition allowed to collect about 10 9 elastic events to precisely measure the differential cross-section including the diffractive minimum (dip), the subsequent maximum (bump) and the large-| t | tail. The average nuclear slope has been found to be B = ( 20.40 ± 0 . 002 stat ± 0 . 01 syst ) GeV - 2 in the | t |-range 0.04–0.2 GeV 2 . The dip position is | t dip | = ( 0.47 ± 0 . 004 stat ± 0 . 01 syst ) GeV 2 . The differential cross section ratio at the bump vs. at the dip R = 1.77 ± 0 . 01 stat has been measured with high precision. The series of TOTEM elastic pp measurements show that the dip is a permanent feature of the pp differential cross-section at the TeV scale.
