Measurements of cross sections of inelastic and diffractive processes in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=900, 2760 and 7000 GeV. The fractions of diffractive processes in inelastic collisions were determined from a study of gaps in charged particle pseudorapidity distributions. Single-diffractive events are selected with $M_{X} < 200$ GeV $/c^{2}$ and double-diffractive events defined as NSD events with $\Delta\eta >3$. To measure the inelastic cross section, beam properties were determined with van der Meer scans using a simulation of diffraction adjusted to data.
