Name: ALICE_2012_I1181770 Year: 2012 Summary: Measurement of inelastic, single- and double-diffraction cross sections in proton--proton collisions at the LHC with ALICE Experiment: ALICE Collider: LHC SpireID: 9732586 InspireID: 1181770 Status: UNVALIDATED Authors: - Martin Poghosyan - Sercan Sen - Burak Bilki References: - arXiv:1208.4968 [hep-ex] RunInfo: Inelastic events (non-diffractive and inelastic diffractive). NumEvents: 100K Beams: [p+, p+] Energies: [900, 2760, 7000] Description: 'Measurements of cross sections of inelastic and diffractive processes in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=900, 2760 and 7000 GeV. The fractions of diffractive processes in inelastic collisions were determined from a study of gaps in charged particle pseudorapidity distributions. Single-diffractive events are selected with $M_{X} < 200$ GeV $/c^{2}$ and double-diffractive events defined as NSD events with $\Delta\eta >3$. To measure the inelastic cross section, beam properties were determined with van der Meer scans using a simulation of diffraction adjusted to data.'
