Abstract

Proton-proton elastic scattering has been measured by the TOTEM experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider at √(s) = 7 TeV in special runs with the Roman Pot detectors placed as close to the outgoing beam as seven times the transverse beam size. The differential cross-section measurements are reported in the |t|-range of 0.36 to 2.5 GeV². Extending the range of data to low t values from 0.02 to 0.33 GeV²,and utilizing the luminosity measurements of CMS, the total proton-proton cross section at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is measured to be (98.3 +- 0.2(stat) +- 2.8(syst)) mb.
