The total cross section for proton-proton interactions at the FCC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-06-28 v1

Abstract

The lower and upper limits of the total cross section (σtot\sigma_{tot}) at the projected FCC-hh have been estimated. A lower limit has been estimated using dispersion relations in combination with recent LHC data of σtot\sigma_{tot} and the ρ\rho-parameter. The upper limit has been estimated using the standard ln2(s)ln^{2}(s) evolution of σtot\sigma_{tot}. Some models giving values in between those limits are also discussed.
