Measurement of proton-proton elastic scattering and total cross section at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\TeV$

Experiment: TOTEM (LHC)

Inspire ID: 1220862

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Sercan Sen - Peter Skands

Beams: p+ p+

Beam energies: (3500.0, 3500.0)GeV

Run details: - Elastic events only.

Measurement of the elastic differential cross-section in proton-proton interactions at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 7~\TeV$ at the LHC. The data, which cover the |t| range $0.005-0.2~\GeV^2$, were collected using Roman Pot detectors very close to the outgoing beam in October 2011, allowing the precise extrapolation down to the optical point, t = 0, and hence the derivation of the elastic as well as the total cross-section via the optical theorem.
