TL;DR: The TOTEM Experiment as discussed by the authors measured the total pp cross-section with the luminosity-independent method and studied elastic and diffractive scattering at the LHC using two tracking telescopes, T1 and T2.

TL;DR: TOTEM has measured the differential cross-section for elastic proton-proton scattering at the LHC energy of analysing data from a short run with dedicated large-β* optics as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Antchev et al. as discussed by the authors measured the differential cross-section for proton-proton elastic scattering as a function of the four-momentum transfer squared t at the LHC energy of, under various beam and background conditions, luminosities, and Roman Pot positions.

TL;DR: The TOTEM collaboration has measured the proton-proton total cross section at √s=8 TeV using a luminosity-independent method using the optical theorem, well in agreement with the extrapolation from lower energies.

TL;DR: The TOTEM experiment at the LHC has performed the first luminosity-independent determination of the total proton-proton cross-section at. This technique is based on the optical theorem and requires simultaneous measurements of the inelastic rate and of the elastic rate by detecting the outcoming protons with Roman Pot detectors.
