Luminosity-independent measurements of total, elastic and inelastic cross-sections at \chem{\sqrt {s} = 7\,TeV}

Luminosity-independent measurements of total, elastic and inelastic cross-sections at \chem{\sqrt {s} = 7\,TeV}

The TOTEM experiment at the LHC has performed the first luminosity-independent determination of the total proton-proton cross-section at $\sqrt {s} = 7\,{\mathrm { TeV}}$ . This technique is based on the optical theorem and requires simultaneous measurements of the inelastic rate – accomplished with...

Zusammenfassung:The TOTEM experiment at the LHC has performed the first luminosity-independent determination of the total proton-proton cross-section at $\sqrt {s} = 7\,{\mathrm { TeV}}$ . This technique is based on the optical theorem and requires simultaneous measurements of the inelastic rate – accomplished with the forward charged-particle telescopes T1 and T2 in the range 3.1
