We have made a new measurement of the $$P\overline{P}$$ total cross section at $$\sqrt{s}$$=1800 GeV, using a luminosity independent method for the analysis. The value obtained is $$\sigma_T = 69.82 \pm 2.44 mb$$. Also we obtained the values of $$\sigma_{el} = 14.93 \pm 1.03 mb$$ and $$\sigma_{in} = 54.88 \pm 1.43 mb$$ for the total elastic and total inelastic cross sections respectively. To perform our measurement we used scintillation counters to detect inelastic events, and 4 scintillating fiber detectors installed inside the Tevatron vacuum to detect elastic events; the elastic detectors were read out with image intensifiers and ccds.
