Abstract

The TOTEM Experiment will measure the total pp cross-section with the luminosity-independent
method and study elastic and diffractive scattering at the LHC.  To  achieve  optimum  forward
coverage for charged particles emitted by the pp collisions in  the  interaction  point  IP5,  two
tracking telescopes, T1 and  T2,  are  installed  on  each  side  in  the  pseudorapidity  region
3.1 ≤ |η| ≤ 6.5, and Roman Pot stations will be placed at distances of ±147 m and ±220 m
from IP5 at LHC. Being  an  independent  experiment  but  technically  integrated  into  CMS,
TOTEM will first operate in standalone mode to pursue its own physics programme and at  a
later stage together with CMS for a common physics programme.  This  communication  will
present the TOTEM experiment from its initial proposal to its current status.
