Forward hadronic scattering at 8 TeV: predictions for the LHC

Abstract

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recently started operating at 8 TeV. In this note, we update our earlier LHC forward hadronic scattering predictions \cite{physicsreports,update7, blackdisk}, giving new predictions, including errors, for the $pp$ total and inelastic cross sections, the $\rho$-value, the nuclear slope parameter $B$, $d{\sigma }_{\mathrm{el}}/dt$, and the large gap survival probability at 8 TeV.
