The TOTEM Experiment at LHC
Giuseppe Latino (for the TOTEM Collaboration)
TL;DR
The TOTEM experiment at CERN's LHC measures proton-proton interactions, including total cross sections and diffraction, to differentiate between models of soft proton interactions.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of the TOTEM experimental setup and its measurements, advancing understanding of soft proton interactions at high energies.
Findings
Measurement of total pp cross section at LHC energies
Observation of elastic scattering and diffractive phenomena
Data to discriminate among soft interaction models
Abstract
The TOTEM experiment at the CERN LHC is here presented. After an overview of the experimental apparatus, the measurement of the total pp cross section, elastic scattering and diffractive phenomena is described. This physics programme will allow to distinguish among different models of soft proton interactions
