The TOTEM (TOTal Elastic and diffractive cross section Measurement) experiment is a component of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, focused on studying diffraction and elastic scattering processes in high-energy proton-proton collisions. It aims to measure the total cross section, elastic scattering cross-section, and diffractive processes. TOTEM employs specialized detectors positioned around the collision point to capture particles that are scattered at very small angles, which are indicative of elastic scattering events.
