CMS_2012_I1193338

Measurement of the inelastic proton-proton cross section at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV
Experiment: CMS (LHC)
Inspire ID: 1193338
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Sercan Sen
References: Beams: p+ p+
Beam energies: (3500.0, 3500.0) GeV
Run details:
  • Inelastic events (non-diffractive and inelastic diffractive).

The inelastic cross-section is measured through two independent methods based on information from (i) forward calorimetry (for pseudorapidity $3 < |\eta| < 5$), in collisions where at least one proton loses more than $\xi > 5 \cdot 10^{-6}$ of its longitudinal momentum, and (ii) the central tracker ($|\eta| < 2.4$), in collisions containing an interaction vertex with more than 1, 2, or 3 tracks with $p_\perp > 200 \text{MeV}/c$.
