Absolute inclusive cross sections for$\bar pp$ interactions at 7.3 GeV/c are given. The data cover prong cross sections,V0, γ production and inclusive charged particle (p/π) production. Separation has been made into annihilation and non-annihilation components. Inclusive π+, π− production in the processes of$\bar pp$ annihilation and non-annihilation are compared with simple quark models.

A measurement of the total $pp$ cross section at the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV is presented. In a special run with high-$\beta^{\star}$ beam optics, an integrated luminosity of 80 $\mu$b$^{-1}$ was accumulated in order to measure the differential elastic cross section as a function of the Mandelstam momentum transfer variable $t$. The measurement is performed with the ALFA sub-detector of ATLAS. Using a fit to the differential elastic cross section in the $|t|$ range from 0.01 GeV$^2$ to 0.1 GeV$^2$ to extrapolate to $|t|\rightarrow 0$, the total cross section, $\sigma_{\mathrm{tot}}(pp\rightarrow X)$, is measured via the optical theorem to be: $$\sigma_{\mathrm{tot}}(pp\rightarrow X) = 95.35 \; \pm 0.38 \; ({\mbox{stat.}}) \pm 1.25 \; ({\mbox{exp.}}) \pm 0.37 \; (\mbox{extr.}) \; \mbox{mb},$$ where the first error is statistical, the second accounts for all experimental systematic uncertainties and the last is related to uncertainties in the extrapolation to $|t|\rightarrow 0$. In addition, the slope of the elastic cross section at small $|t|$ is determined to be $B = 19.73 \pm 0.14 \; ({\mbox{stat.}}) \pm 0.26 \; ({\mbox{syst.}}) \; \mbox{GeV}^{-2}$.

Table 5

The measured differential elastic cross section. In addition to the statistical and total systematic uncertainties, the following 24 systematic shifts are given, which are included in the profile fit with their signs: -- Constraints: Beam optics uncertainty obtained by varying the ALFA constraints in the optics fit -- QScan: Variation by +/- 0.1 % of the quadrupole strength -- Q2: Fit of the strength of Q2 using the best value for the strength of Q1 and Q3 -- MadX: Uncertainty related to the beam transport replacing matrix transport by MadX PTC tracking -- Q5Q6: Variation of the strength of Q5 and Q6 by -0.2% as indicated by machine constraints -- Qmisal: Uncertainty due to the mis-alignment of the quadrupoles in the beam line -- Q1Q3: Propagation of the optics fit uncertainty in the strenght of Q1 and Q3 on the differential elastic cross section -- Stat2: Alignment uncertainty from the choice of a reference station -- Dist: Alignment uncertainty related to the distance calibration between the upper and lower detectors -- Leff: Alignment uncertainty related to effective lever arm used in the alignment optimization procedure -- Offv: Alignment uncertainty related to the vertical beam center offset -- Offh: Alignment uncertainty related to the horizontal beam center offset -- Ang: Alignment uncertainty related to the detector rotation in the x-y plane -- BGn: Uncertainty from the background normalization -- BGs: Uncertainty from the background shape -- MCres: Error from modelling of the detector response -- Slope: Residual dependence on the physics model estimated by varying the nuclear slope in the simulation by +/- 1 GeV^-2 -- Emit: Uncertainty from the emittance used to calculate beam divergence in the simulation -- Unf: Unfolding uncertainty from the data-driven closure test -- Trac: Uncertainty from the variation of the track reconstruction selection cuts -- Xing: Uncertainty from residual crossing angle in the horizontal plane -- Eff: Uncertainty from the reconstruction efficiency -- Lumi: Luminosity uncertainty (+/- 2.3%) -- Ebeam: Uncertainty from the nominal beam energy (+/- 0.65%) A small difference in the statistical uncertainties give here compared to the published version is related to insignificant rounding issues.
