Abstract
The TOTEM collaboration at the LHC has measured the elastic, inelastic and total proton-proton cross sections at several center of mass energies and is carrying on a rich program of measurements of diffractive physics together with the CMS collaboration. The talk will review the TOTEM measurements mainly focusing on the newest and most significant ones. The status of the experimental apparatus, its latest changes and the current and future technological challenges will be discussed as well.
Highlights
The TOTEM experiment has been designed to measure the total proton-proton cross-section, elastic scattering and diffractive processes at the LHC [1]
The experimental apparatus of TOTEM is composed of three subdetectors: the Roman Pots (RP) and the T1, T2 inelastic forward telescopes
The detectors are placed symmetrically on both sides of the Interaction Point 5 (IP5), which is shared with the CMS experiment
