Abstract:
Measurements of the proton-proton total cross section have been made with increased precision (±0.6%) over the ISR energy range . Two different experimental methods gave consistent results, showing that the total cross section increases 10% over the ISR range and in addition that the absolute value of the ISR luminosity can be measured to ±0.9%.
