ATLAS_2011_I894867

Measurement of the inelastic proton-proton cross-section at $\sqrt{s} = $7 TeV.
Experiment: ATLAS (LHC)
Inspire ID: 894867
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Anton Karneyeu
  • Sercan Sen
References: Beams: p+ p+
Beam energies: (3500.0, 3500.0) GeV
Run details:
  • Inelastic events (non-diffractive and inelastic diffractive).

Inelastic cross-section is measured for $\xi > 5 \times 10^{-6}$, where $\xi=M_X^2/s$ is calculated from the invariant mass, $M_X$, of hadrons selected using the largest rapidity gap in the event.
