The elastic cross section was measured differentially in the Mandelstam t variable in the range from -t=2.5 center dot 10(-4) GeV2 to -t=0.46 GeV2 using 6.9 million elastic-scattering candidates. This paper presents measurements of the total cross section sigma(tot), parameters of the nuclear slope, and the rho-parameter defined as the ratio of the real part to the imaginary part of the elastic-scattering amplitude in the limit t -> 0. These parameters are determined from a fit to the differential elastic cross section using the optical theorem and different parameterizations of the t-dependence. The results for sigma(tot) and rho are sigma(tot) (PP -> X ) =104.7 +/- 1.1 mob , rho=0.098 +/- 0.011. The uncertainty in sigma(tot) is dominated by the luminosity measurement, and in rho by imperfect knowledge of the detector alignment and by modelling of the nuclear amplitude.", optnote="WOS:001104629900004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5889), last updated on Sat, 27 Jan 2024 14:16:22 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-11436-8", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.12246", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-11436-8", language="English" }
