Abstract
The first physics results from the TOTEM experiment are here reported, concerning the measurements of the total, differential elastic, elastic and inelastic pp cross-section at the LHC energy of = 7 TeV, obtained using the luminosity measurement from CMS. A preliminary measurement of the forward charged particle distribution is also shown.
