The Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI) has recently been used by the TOTEM Collaboration to analyse proton–proton elastic-scattering data from the LHC and to draw physics conclusions. This paper will present an eikonal calculation of the CNI effects performed to all orders of the fine structure constant, α. This calculation will be used as a reference to benchmark several widely-used CNI formulae and to verify several recent claims by other authors.
