2 The LHCb detector & HeRSChel Summary of Soft QCD and Central Exclusive Processes (CEP) (Run 2) Measurement of the p-p inelastic cross-section at s=13 TeV CEP at LHCb: J/ψ and s=13 TeV Results and conclusions 2

4 Aim of the analysis: calculate the σ inel using prompt and long-lived particles inside the LHCb acceptance and extrapolate it to the full phase space Data used: pp collisions at centre-of-mass energy s = 13 TeV both polarities of the LHCb dipole magnet 691 million events in 49 runs from 8 LHC fills σ inel =Σσ x where x {ND,SD, DD} ND: non-diffractive contribution SD: single diffractive contribution DD: double-diffractive contribution 4

8 Typical event in LHCb Two muons and no other activity! 8

9 Signal signature central system large rapidity gaps between central system and outgoing protons Background diffractive processes involving proton dissociation Possibilities transition between soft and hard pomeron Soft QCD very clean final state high benefit 9

10 scintillating counters, designed to increase the coverage of the LHCb experiment in the high-rapidity regions on either side of the main spectrometer (3 in backward ( B stations) and 2 in forward ( F stations)) central region not covered sensitive to activity (no tracking) 10

11 Measurement performed with 204 pb -1 data at 13 TeV μ=1.1 half of the visible interactions there is a single pp collision Trigger requirements: Hardware: less than 30 deposits in the scintillating-pad detector (SPD); at least one muon with p T > 200 MeV/ Software: < 10 reconstructed tracks; at least one muon Event selection: pp p+μ + μ - +p 2 reconstructed muons in 2<η<4.5 mass within 65 MeV/c 2 from J/ψ or ψ(2s) mass p 2 T<0.8GeV 2 Events with: 1) additional VELO tracks or 2) neutral energy > 200 MeV or 3) significant deposits in HERSCHEL are removed 11

12 Non-resonant background continuum lepton pair production LHCb Total fit ψ(2s) χ c Feed-down background: ψ(2s)/χ c - undected remaining particles produced in association with J/ψ or outside the detector Signal Proton dissociation contamination 12

13 Inelastic production of mesons: one or more protons dissociate or emit a gluon Ways to extract the proton dissociation background: fit data with 2 exponentials (one for the signal and one for the pr. diss. bkg) use the two independent samples below and above HERSCHEL veto to constrain the background No Herschel veto applied bckg. halves with Herschel 13

14 Total cross-section Differential cross-sections with respect to rapidity: better agreement with JMRT NLO prediction JHEP 11 (2013) J. Phys.G41 (2014)
