The TOTEM Experiment at the LHC

arXiv:0905.2936

Abstract

The TOTEM experiment at the LHC is dedicated to the measurement of the total pp cross section and to the study of elastic scattering and of diffractive dissociation processes. TOTEM is here presented with a general overview on the main features of its experimental apparatus and of its physics programme.
