Abstract

The current large uncertainty on the extrapolation of the proton–proton total cross section at the LHC energy will be resolved by the precise measurement by the TOTEM experiment. Its accurate studies on the basic properties of proton–proton collisions at the maximum accelerator energy could provide a significant contribution to the understanding of cosmic ray physics.
