摘要：

At the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) proton-proton and heavy ion collisions will be studied at energies corresponding to E-lab = 10(17) eV cosmic-ray interactions. The possibilities to measure event topologies in these interactions that are relevant for the interpretation of cosmic-ray data are described. Minimum bias events are best studied in low luminosity (L = 10(28) cm(-2) s(-1)) runs with a beam optic with beta* of 1100 m. In particular, the combination of the TOTEM and CMS experiments allow a large pseudorapidity coverage for charged and neutral particles with simultaneous measurement of diffractive protons. The total cross-section will be determined to within 1%.
