Measurement of pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles in proton–proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV by the CMS and TOTEM experiments
Abstract
Pseudorapidity ( η ) distributions of charged particles produced in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV are measured in the ranges |η|<2.2 and 5.3<|η|<6.4 covered by the CMS and TOTEM detectors, respectively. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of L=45 μb^(−1). Measurements are presented for three event categories. The most inclusive category is sensitive to 91–96 % of the total inelastic proton–proton cross section. The other two categories are disjoint subsets of the inclusive sample that are either enhanced or depleted in single diffractive dissociation events. The data are compared to models used to describe high-energy hadronic interactions. None of the models considered provide a consistent description of the measured distributions.

Funded by SCOAP3. We congratulate our colleagues in the CERN accelerator departments for the excellent performance of the LHC. We especially thank the beam optics development team for the design and the successful commissioning of the high β-optics and the LHC machine coordinators for scheduling the dedicated fills. We are grateful to the technical and administrative staffs at CERN and at other CMS and TOTEM institutes for their contributions to the success of the CMS and TOTEM efforts. In addition, we gratefully acknowledge the computing centres and personnel of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid for delivering so effectively the computing infrastructure essential to our analyses.
