This article discusses some basic aspects of cross section measurements at the future Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
We discuss models for total cross-sections, show their predictions for photon-photon collisions and compare them with the recent LEP measurements. We show that the extrapolations to high center of mass energies within various models differ…
It is very likely that hadronic scattering will enter a new regime at the LHC, as the black-disk limit is reached. This will lead to a severe change in the t dependence of the real part and of the slope of the elastic scattering amplitude,…
High energy hadronic total cross-section data are found to agree with the predictions of a QCD-string picture.
To settle the question whether the growth with energy is universal for different hadronic total cross-sections, we present results from theoretical models for pion-proton, proton-proton and proton-antiproton total cross-sections. We show…
I review the predictions of the total cross section for many models, and point out that some of them lead to the conclusion that the standard experimental analysis may lead to systematic errors much larger than expected.
The measurements of the hadron-hadron total cross sections are the first measurements performed when a new hadron accelerator opens up a new energy region; the measurements were made as function of the incoming beam momentum or c.m. energy…
This review describes the development of the physics of hadronic cross sections up to recent LHC results and cosmic ray experiments. We present here a comprehensive review - written with a historical perspective - about total cross-sections…
In this note we address the issue of measurability of the hadronic cross-sections at a future photon collider as well as for the two-photon processes at a future high energy linear $e^+e^-$ collider. We extend, to higher energy, our…
In this note, we summarize and compare various model predictions for $pp$ total cross-section $\sigma_{\rm tot}^{pp}$, giving an estimate of the range of predictions for the total cross-section, $\sigma_{\rm tot}^{pp}$ expected at the LHC.…
A review of measurements of the total cross section in ppbar collisions at the TEVATRON and an outlook on the expected performance for similar determinations at the LHC is given. The experimental method is based on the optical theorem to…

The LHC has brought much new information on total, elastic and diffractive cross sections, which is not always in agreement with extrapolations from lower energies. The default framework in the Pythia event generator is one case in point.…
Results from the Fermilab Tevatron pbar-p collider on diffractive and total cross sections are reviewed with emphasis on physics significance and properties pointing to expectations at the LHC.
A model for total cross-sections incorporating QCD jet cross-sections and soft gluon resummation is described and compared with present data on $pp$ and ${\bar p}p$ cross-sections. Predictions for LHC are presented for different parameter…
I review the status of the comparisons between a few measurements at hadronic colliders and perturbative QCD predictions, which emphasize the need for improving the current computations. Such improvements will be mandatory for a…

A precise measurement of the total cross section and the coulomb scattering at the LHC requires the observation of elastically scatteredparticles at extremely small angles (14 microrad, -t < 0.01 GeV**2 for the first case; 3 microrad,…
Proton-proton collisions at the LHC can be classified as elastic, non-diffractive, and diffractive. In this paper we discuss various measurements of these above processes at various LHC experiments. We report about the total proton-proton…
