Description

The TOTEM collaboration has presented an 'Expression of Interest' for the measurement of the total cross section, elastic scattering and diffraction dissociation at the LHC. The experiment is designed to measure the total cross section with the luminosity independent method and accuracy better than 2 mb. Elastic scattering will be studied from the very small momentum transfer region of the Coulomb-strong interaction interference, up to at least |t| = 10 GeV2. The cross section of diffraction dissociation will come out almost as a byproduct. (author)
