Description

The TOTEM collaboration at the LHC has completed its analysis of the elastic, inelastic and total proton-proton cross-sections (via the optical theorem) at sqrt(s) = 2.74 TeV. The new measurement lies close in energy to the Tevatron's 1.8 TeV with its two slightly conflicting total cross-section results.
The presentation will put the new measurement in the context of completed, ongoing and future measurements at other energies.
