| Summary: | The differential cross section for inclusive particle production as a function of
energy in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is measured in the
very forward region of the CMS detector. The measurement is based on data collected with
the CMS apparatus at the LHC, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.34 µb
−1
.
The energy is measured in the CASTOR calorimeter, which covers the pseudorapidity
region −6.6 < η < −5.2. The results are given as a function of the total energy deposited
in CASTOR, as well as of its electromagnetic and hadronic components. The spectra are
sensitive to the modeling of multiparton interactions in pp collisions, and provide new
constraints for hadronic interaction models used in collider and in high energy cosmic
ray physics. |
