LHCB_2015_I1333223

Measurement of inelastic interaction cross-section in pp collisions at 7 TeV for LHCb fiducial phase-space.
Experiment: LHCB (Large Hadron Collider (LHC))
Inspire ID: 1333223
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Alex Grecu
References: Beams: p+ p+
Beam energies: (3500.0, 3500.0) GeV
Run details:
  • Proton-proton interactions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. LHCb minimum bias, inelastic events (elastic processes may be turned off).

LhCb measurement of the cross-section for inelastic proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with at least one prompt stable charged particle of transverse momentum $p_T > 0.2$ GeV/$c$ and pseudorapidity ($\eta$) in the range $2.0 < \eta < 4.5$. A prompt stable charged particle is defined as having the true impact parameter relative to the true primary vertex smaller than 200 $\mu$m.
