Abstract
The values of the parameters and extracted in the region of Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI) in the ATLAS and TOTEM experiments at energy TeV are studied based on the general expression for the Coulomb-nuclear amplitude. Due to the significant differences between these data, we undertake both their joint analysis and the retrieval of parameter values separately for each experiment. A significant incompatibility of these parameters published by the ATLAS and TOTEM experiments is shown. This is especially noticeable in the case of and the situation is similar to what once happened at the TEVATRON: the values of with account of errors do not overlap with .
