First measurement of elastic, inelastic and total cross-section at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV by TOTEM and overview of cross-section data at LHC energies

The TOTEM Collaboration, . Antchev, P. Aspell +86

The TOTEM collaboration has measured the proton-proton total cross section at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with a luminosity-independent method. Using dedicated ${\beta }^{\ast }=90$ m beam optics, the…
