Annotation	TOTEM is an LHC experiment dedicated to the measurement of the total proton-proton cross section with the luminosity-independent method and to study elastic and diffractive pp scattering at the LHC. To achieve optimum forward coverage for charged particles emitted by the pp collisions in the interaction point IP5, two tracking telescopes, T1 and T2, are installed on each side of the IP5 in the pseudorapidity region 3.1 < \|η\| < 6.5, and special movable beam-pipe insertions – called Roman Pots (RP) – are placed at distances of 147m and 220m from IP5. This article describes in detail the working of the TOTEM detector to produce physics results in the first three years of operation and data taking at the LHC.
