Description

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has successfully run for a long period at half energy, 7 TeV. In this note, we update earlier full-energy LHC forward hadronic scattering predictions [M. M. Block, Phys. Rep. 436, 71 (2006).], giving new predictions, including errors, for the pp total and inelastic cross sections, the ρ value, the nuclear slope parameter B, dσel/dt, and the large gap survival probability at the current 7 TeV energy.
