New results are presented for total ${\rm pp}/ {\rm \bar p p}$ cross-sections, in the framework of our QCD based model (GGPS). This is an improved eikonal mini-jet model, where soft gluon radiation tames the fast energy rise normally…
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…
A forward amplitude analysis on $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ elastic scattering above 5 GeV is presented. The dataset includes the recent high-precision TOTEM measurements of the $pp$ total and elastic (integrated) cross-sections at 7 TeV and 8 TeV.…
The hard pomeron first came to light in deep inelastic lepton scattering, but evidence that it contributes also to soft hadronic collisions is reinforced by the fact that it seems to obey a factorisation similar to that of other Regge…
The lower and upper limits of the total cross section ($\sigma_{tot}$) at the projected FCC-hh have been estimated. A lower limit has been estimated using dispersion relations in combination with recent LHC data of $\sigma_{tot}$ and the…
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.
A unified approach to total cross-sections, based on the QCD contribution to the rise with energy, is presented for the processes $pp$, $p{\bar p}$, $\gamma p, \gamma \gamma, e^+e^- \to hadrons$. For proton processes, a discussion of the…

Recently at LHC one has obtained measurements of the total, elastic and diffractive cross sections in pp collisions at very high energy. The total cross section is in good agreement with predictions based on a leading behavior \sigma_{tot}…
Independently of any theory, the possibility that the large value of the Tevatron cross section claimed by CDF is correct suggests that the total cross section at the LHC may be large. Because of the experimental and theoretical…
We present the predictions of a model for proton-proton total cross-section at LHC. It takes into account both hard partonic processes and soft gluon emission effects to describe the proper high energy behavior and to respect the Froissart…
We do not have the ability to perform precise calculations of long-range strong interaction effects, because the effective QCD coupling is not small and so we cannot use perturbation theory. Nevertheless, I show that we know a lot, though…
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…
We discuss the need to compare total cross-section measurements at LHC and HERA with each other and with available models in order to obtain a more precise prediction of the total hadronic cross-section at the future Linear Collider, thus…
We calculate total hadron-hadron cross sections at high energies using the Low-Nussinov two-gluon model of the Pomeron. The gluon exchange is represented by a phenomenological potential including screened color-Coulomb, screened confining,…
We propose to use rich informations on the pp, pbar p total cross sections sigma below N=10 GeV in order to predict the total cross section and rho ratio at very high energies. Using the FESR as a constraint for high energy parameters, we…
