Total Cross Section, Elastic Scattering and Diffraction Dissociation (TOTEM) is one of the six detector experiments being constructed at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It shares intersection point IP5 with the Compact Muon Solenoid. The detector aims at measurement of total cross section, elastic scattering and diffractive processes.
