In the calculation of the ρa(⃗q1)ρb(⃗q2)ρc(⃗q3)C=−1cor-
relator in Ref. [1] the symmetry factors for the diagrams
of the “Fig. 7 type” included an incorrect factor 2, see
Erratum of Ref. [1].
In this work we have evaluated the expressions in
Ref. [1] numerically in order to calculate the C-odd odd-
eron amplitude in coordinate space. Once the fixed sym-
metry factors are taken into account, the numerical re-
sults presented in this letter change. Furthermore, we
also realized that an overall factor (−1) was missing from
all our results.
When the fixed symmetry factors are taken into ac-
count, the original conclusions change to some extent.
We originally reported finding a stronger Odderon am-
plitude with decreasing Bjorken-x. This remains true for
small dipoles, compared to the impact parameter. How-
ever, at larger dipole size rthe C-odd amplitude may
either increase or decrease, depending on the impact pa-
rameter.
We now present an updated numerical analysis of the
odderon coordinate space amplitude. First, the angular
dependence of the Odderon (defined in Eq. (3) of the
original manusript) is shown in Fig. 1. The Odderon is
parametrized as
O(⃗r,⃗
b) = a1(r, b) cos θ+a3(r, b) cos 3θ(1)
and the dominant coefficient a1is shown in the following
Figures. Depending on the dipole size and on the im-
pact parameter, the NLO correction can be quite large
already at x= 0.1, and it in general exhibits a relatively
moderate xdependence.
The impact parameter dependence of the coefficient
a1quantifying the magnitude of the Odderon is shown
in Fig. 2. As already mentioned above, the NLO correc-
tion now reduces the amplitude at small b≪r, while a
stronger Odderon is obtained with decreasing xat larger
impact parameters.
Similarly the dependence on the dipole size ris shown
in Fig. 3, now at small and large b. Again a decreasing

(in magnitude) Odderon with decreasing xis obtained
at small impact parameter, consistent with expectations
based on perturbative small-xevolution of the (hard)
odderon [2]. On the other hand, at larger bthe behavior
is opposite.
In the original publication we reported that a1levels
off at large r≃0.7 fm. Such behavior is still visible in
Fig. 3(left) for small b(although we now restrict to r≤
0.6 fm where the numerical evaluation is most reliable).
At greater impact parameter b, however, see Fig. 3(right),
no levelling off of the Odderon amplitude is seen up to the
largest dipoles considered here. The behavior of a1(r) at
different impact parameters is also visible from Fig. 4.
We also provide updated two-dimensional grids for the
coefficients a1and a3at different r. The grids for a1are
illustrated in Fig. 4and numerical values can be found
in the supplementary material.
