Measurement of the total cross section from elastic scattering in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A measurement of the total pp cross section at the LHC at s=7 TeV is presented. In a special run with high-β ⋆ beam optics, an integrated luminosity of 80 μb −1 was accumulated in order to measure the differential elastic cross section as a function of the Mandelstam momentum transfer variable t.

A measurement of the total pp cross section at the LHC at s=7 TeV is presented.

Using a fit to the differential elastic cross section in the |t| range from 0.01 GeV 2 to 0.1 GeV 2 to extrapolate to |t|→0, the total cross section, σ tot (pp→X), is measured via the optical theorem to be: σ tot (pp→X)=95.35±0.38(stat.)±1.25(exp.)±0.37(extr.)mb, where the first error is statistical, the second accounts for all experimental systematic uncertainties and the last is related to uncertainties in the extrapolation to |t|→0.
