The proton-air inelastic cross section value sigmapairin=338$pm$21({it stat})$pm$19({it syst})-28({it syst}) mb at $sqrt{s} approx $ 2 TeV has been measured by the EAS-TOP Extensive Air Shower experiment. The absorption length of cosmic ray proton primaries cascades reaching the maximum development at the observation level is obtained from the flux attenuation for different zenith angles (i.e. atmospheric depths). The analysis, including the effects of the heavier primaries contribution and systematic uncertainties, is described. The experimental result is compared with different high energy interaction models and the relationships with the {it pp} ($bar pp$) total cross section measurements are discussed.

The TOTEM collaboration has measured the elastic proton-proton differential cross section ${rm d}sigma/{rm d}t$ at $sqrt{s}=13$ TeV LHC energy using dedicated $beta^{*}=90$ m beam optics. The Roman Pot detectors were inserted to 10$sigma$ distance fr om the LHC beam, which allowed the measurement of the range $[0.04$ GeV$^{2}$$; 4 $GeV$^{2}$$]$ in four-momentum transfer squared $|t|$. The efficient data acquisition allowed to collect about 10$^{9}$ elastic events to precisely measure the differential cross-section including the diffractive minimum (dip), the subsequent maximum (bump) and the large-$|t|$ tail. The average nuclear slope has been found to be $B=(20.40 pm 0.002^{rm stat} pm 0.01^{rm syst})~$GeV$^{-2}$ in the $|t|$-range $0.04~$GeV$^{2}$ to $0.2~$GeV$^{2}$. The dip position is $|t_{rm dip}|=(0.47 pm 0.004^{rm stat} pm 0.01^{rm syst})~$GeV$^{2}$. The differential cross section ratio at the bump vs. at the dip $R=1.77pm0.01^{rm stat}$ has been measured with high precision. The series of TOTEM elastic pp measurements show that the dip is a permanent feature of the pp differential cross-section at the TeV scale.
The cross-section for inelastic proton-proton collisions, with at least one prompt long-lived charged particle of transverse momentum $p_{rm T}>0.2$ GeV/$c$ in the pseudorapidity range $2.0<eta<4.5$, is measured by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of- mass energy of $sqrt{s}=7$ TeV. The cross-section in this kinematic range is determined to be $sigma_{rm inel}^{rm acc} = 55.0 pm 2.4$ mb within the spectrometer acceptance with an experimental uncertainty that is dominated by systematic contributions. Extrapolation to the full phase space, using PYTHIA 6, yields $sigma_{rm inel} = 66.9 pm 2.9 pm 4.4$ mb, where the first uncertainty is experimental and the second is due to the extrapolation.

In this paper, we report the production cross-section of forward photons in the pseudorapidity regions of $eta,>,10.94$ and $8.99,>,eta,>,8.81$, measured by the LHCf experiment with proton--proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. The results from th e analysis of 0.191 $mathrm{nb^{-1}}$ of data obtained in June 2015 are compared to the predictions of several hadronic interaction models that are used in air-shower simulations for ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. Although none of the models agree perfectly with the data, EPOS-LHC shows the best agreement with the experimental data among the models.
The TOTEM collaboration has measured the proton-proton total cross section at $sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with a luminosity-independent method. Using dedicated $beta^{*}=90$ m beam optics, the Roman Pots were inserted very close to the beam. The inelastic scatt ering rate has been measured by the T1 and T2 telescopes during the same LHC fill. After applying the optical theorem the total proton-proton cross section is $sigma_{rm tot}=(110.6 pm 3.4$) mb, well in agreement with the extrapolation from lower energies. This method also allows one to derive the luminosity-independent elastic and inelastic cross sections: $sigma_{rm el} = (31.0 pm 1.7)$ mb and $sigma_{rm inel} = (79.5 pm 1.8)$ mb.
The cross-section for inclusive phi meson production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV has been measured with the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The differential cross-section is measured as a function of the phi transverse momentum p_T and rapidity y in the region 0.6 < p_T < 5.0 GeV/c and 2.44 < y < 4.06. The cross-section for inclusive phi production in this kinematic range is sigma(pp -> phi X) = 1758 pm 19(stat) ^{+43}_{-14}(syst) pm 182(scale) microbarn, where the first systematic uncertainty depends on the p_T and y region and the second is related to the overall scale. Predictions based on the Pythia 6.4 generator underestimate the cross-section.
