We use the very forward neutron energy spectra measured by the LHC forward experiment at 7 TeV to extract the πþp total cross section at center-of-mass energies in the range 2.3–3.5 TeV. To do this, we have to first isolate the π-exchange pole in forward neutron production in pp collisions, by evaluating other possible contributions, namely, those from ρ and a2 exchange, from both eikonal and enhanced screening effects, from migration, from neutron production by Δ-isobar decay and from diffractive nucleon excitations. We discuss the possible theoretical uncertainties due to the fact that the data do not exactly reach the π pole. We choose the kinematical domain where the pion contribution dominates and demonstrate the role of the different corrections which could affect the final result.
