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: - arXiv: 1210.6718

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 < |η| < 5), in collisions where at least one proton loses more than ξ > 5 ⋅ 10−6 of its longitudinal momentum, and (ii) the central tracker (|η| < 2.4), in collisions containing an interaction vertex with more than 1, 2, or 3 tracks with $p_\perp > 200~\MeV/c$.
