11 Elastic Scattering: event selection in RP Raw hit distribution Elastic selection Beam halo Low-ξ p Aperture limitation The event selection requires the collinearity of the two outgoing protons, the suppression of the diffractive events and the comparison of the horizontal vertex position reconstructed from the left and right arms.

24 Very low measurement Measurement of require the study of the Coulomb Nuclear interference region down to ~6 10 of 1 needed! ħ ħ = relative Coulomb-nuclear phase G(t) = nucleon el.-mag. form factor /, 0 Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

25 Coulomb interference Analysis aim: 1. Measure d d at the smallest possible proton t (where the Coulomb interaction can be probed). 2. Fit the data with many theoretical models: evaluate the agreement, extract physics parameters (, ), further improve the measurement. Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

26 : preliminary result Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

27 Charged-particle pseudorapidity density EPL 98 (2012) Analysis with only T2 telescope , 40 Data Vs MC prediction Since about 80% of the T2 reconstructed tracks are secondaries, it has been crucial to find a procedure for primary charged particle identification with strong discriminating power. Analysis has been performed on each quarter independently 7 Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

28 Eta distribuiton with CMS New analisys ongoing for 8, with CMS! Both CMS and TOTEM analysis obtained triggering with T2, on the same events. Same CMS-TOTEM event slection (at least a track reconstructed in T2) Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

29 Diffractive physics

30 Event topology RP RP T2 T1 CMS Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

31 CERN-PH-EP Double Diffractive This measurement uses data collected in October 2011 at 7. The data were collected with the T2 minimum bias trigger. No leading proton only inelastic detector used Aim: Measurement of soft double diffractive cross section with particle visible to TOTEM T2 ( ). Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

32 Double Diffractive: analysis Event selection: trigger with T2, at least one track in both T2 hemispheres, no track in T1 («0T1+2T2» topology). ND (Non Diffractive) background estimated scaling the MC prediction using a data sample dominated by ND (tracks on T1 and T2 on both sides) SD (Single Diffractive) background from data using a data sample dominated by SD (tracks only in one side of T2) and requiring proton in the RP Four additional exclusive data samples defined for testing the background model. Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

33 Double Diffractive: results for events where for both diffractive masses Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

34 Single Diffractive Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

35 Single Diffractive: analysis SD event selected requiring only 1 proton in the RP in events triggered by T2 Diffractive mass can be obtained from the rapidity gap estimation base on charged particle track in T1 and T2 (Δ ). Better resolution for low-medium mass. SD events classified into 4 categories,based on the rapidity gap: Requiring a proton allow strong background rejection Inelastic+beam gas beckground estimated from data, esing mirrored events (diffractive mass and proton on same side) Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

36 Single Diffractive: preliminary results Low Mass Medium Mass Correction included: Trigger efficiency Recostruction efficiency Proton acceptance Background substraction Extrapolation to t=0 High Mass Missing: resolution and beam divergence effect Uncertainty (estimated): ~15% ; ~20% Very preliminary: Very High masses measurement ongoing Edoardo Bossini, Trieste, 24 Settembre

37 Central diffraction (Totem/CMS) Cuts: Vertex 1 Rp near edge removed (background suppression) Rp top-bot/bot-top topology 1.5%, better resolution FSC empty (suppress back.) CMS RP CMS RP MM(pp) = 244 GeV; M(CMS) = 219 GeV Jets 65,45,27 GeV Σ (CMS) = 3.4 GeV
