The Total cross-section at the LHC
2007
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 not nearly enough. As a measure of our lack of knowledge, the best prediction for the total cross section at LHC energy is 125 +/- 25 mb.
