A new tool for leading proton simulation • A Geant3 simulation package for the • leading particles has been worked out by • Jerry Lämsä. • This b-version is being validated and • includes all the beam elements that are • relevant for tracing the leading particles • originating at the IP (5 or 1) up to the • 420 lp detector location. • To be used for acceptance, resolution • and background studies. Note: The illustration above only describes the outgoing lp’s.
TOTEM measurements CMS Tracking & Calorimety TOTEM Castor, ZDC, 420m TOTEM Castor, ZDC, 420m • Total pp cross section with a • precision of 1% • Elastic pp scattering: • 10-3 t = (p)2 10 GeV2 • Leading particles: • 210-3 2 10-1 • Particle flows, rap gaps: • 3.1 4.7 and 5.3 6.5 • Investigate diffractive & forward phenomena together with CMS+ (= CMS+Castor+ZDC+fp420m) HERA and Tevatron studies as guidance! Note: Rapidity coverage could be further improved by veto counters at 60m to 140m, microstations at 19m etc.
Elastic cross section: Significance dsel/dt yields: • pp interaction radius (slope of the dsel/dt distribution) • with the measurement of the total inelastic rate - the total pp cross section, • A test of the Coulomb-nuclear Interference (expected to have an effect over large interval in –t). • A measurement of the ratio of the real and imaginary parts of the forward pp scattering amplitude, r = ReA(s,t)/ImA(s,t) • Through dispersion relations, a precise measurement of r will constrain stot at substantially higher energies
Elastic cross section: Measurements • The leading proton detectors at ‘147’ and ‘220’ meters from the Interaction Point (IP5)[1]. • The nominal TOTEM beam optics set-up has high b* (b* 1540 m) and no crossing angle • at the IP for optimizing the acceptance and accuracy at small values of t down to -tmin 2 10-3 GeV2. • The -t distribution is extrapolated to -t = 0 the total proton-proton cross section by the Optical • theorem to better than 1%. • With the custom optics of b* = 90 m, a first quick measurement of the elastic cross section dsel/dt • extrapolation to the Optical point with an accuracy of a few percent. • Short runs with other LHC custom optics set-ups, such as the ‘injection’ optics (b* = 18 m), or stage-1 • 'pilot' run optics (b* = 2 m) allow measurements up to -t 10 15 GeV2. • Runs with a reduced center-of-mass energy will allow an analysis of energy dependence, • comparisons with the Tevatron results and a precise measurement of ther parameter. [1] The detector locations at 145 and 149 meters from IP5 are here referred as the ‘147’ meter location and the ones at 218 and 222 meters from IP5 as the ‘220’ meter location. [2] The closest approach to the beam is of the order of a few mm’s (10s + 0.5 mm) and depends on the measurement location and used beam optics scheme (see 1.2).

The ”minimum-bias” events should be understood, too... The minimum-bias energy flows populate the forward detectors ... while the central detectors are floded by a large multiplicity of soft particles... Underlying events probed by the forward tags.
Acceptance in & -t vs. Run Scenario Acceptance of leading protons produced in Central Diffractive events (Phojet) 30% acc. contours log Acceptance b* = 2m FP420m b* = 90m b* = 1540m b* = 1540m b* = 90m b* = 2m log(-t) log(-t) b* = 90m: CD protons detected by their scattering angle in the vertical RP detectors, -t 3 10-2 GeV2, almost independently of , 50% of CD protons seen (standard LHC injection optics, p-to-p in vertical plane horizontal displacement proportional to & vx positon/CMS) b* = 1540m: -t 1 10-3 GeV2, 85% of CD protons seen (very low –t reach) b* = 2m: CD protons seen in the horizontal detectors, only, 0.02 0.1, -t 2 GeV2, poor acceptance (high –t) (420m RP’s with min 0.002 would help!)
acceptance vs. Run Scenario at 220m • Nominal Totem optics: • 85% of lp’s seen • Custom optics I (b* = 90m): • 50% of lp’s seen • Machine development phase (b* = 2 – 10m): • a few % of lp’s seen

Acceptance dN/d Acceptance dN/dM 1540m A = 1 1540m 90m 90m A = 1 2m 2m MX (GeV) For hard diffraction need nominal optics: diffractive protons with 0.02 (0.002 at 420m location) seen, L = 1032-1033 cm-2s-1 yields 1 – 10 fb-1 in a year.
90 m optics: resolution Resolution in is dominated by: (1) vertex position (30 mm precision by CMS assumed), (2) beam position (50 mm assumed) s() Including all uncertainties Vx position: 30 mm assumed Beam position: 50 mm assumed Detector resolution: 10 mm assumed
Single diffraction: Significance • Single diffractive dissociation to a large mass system, M*, is not fully • understood: • Both the triple-Pomeron based description and prediction of "multi-Reggeon" • events - events with a few large rapidity gaps - lead to sSD that grows faster • than stot. • A measurement of sSD and the cross section of multiple large rapidity gaps at the LHC will test the proposed models (see CDF/Dino and KMR). • For understanding the asymptotics of the strong interaction amplitude, it is • crucial to measure the -t-dependence of sSD. • Vanishing of triple-Pomeron coupling, G3ℙ, at -t 0, might cure the problem of • excessive sSD • A measurement of the cross section dsSD/dt at t 0, would test the 'weak coupling' scenario
Single diffraction: Significance... • Measurement of the location of the diffractive minimum (predicted as • a result of the destructive interference between the pole and cut • contributions) • further testing of the 'weak coupling' scheme. • ‘Screening corrections' due to multi-loop Pomeron graphs • gap survival factor S2 0 when s , or gap size Dh ? • investigate the dependence of S2 on c.m.s. energy, gap size and the number of gaps. • SD dominated by the periphery of the interaction disk? • particles produced within the diffractive system have smaller average transverse momenta (compared to the secondaries at energies s M*)?
Single diffraction: Measurements • Based on tagging leading protons and rapidity gaps in inelastic events. • The cross sections are typically large, short special runs with the ‘nominal’ TOTEM • high b* optics conditions (b* 1540 m) yield excellent statistics. • The pilot runs with b* = 90 m, 18 m - 2 m, planned for the initial stages of the • LHC operation, suit well for measurements of soft diffractive scattering. • About 85% (50%) of the diffractive protons with the nominal b* = 1540 m (special • b* = 90 m) are registered and with a diffractive mass, M*, acceptance better than • 50% down to M* = 3 GeV (1.2 GeV?). • The diffractive systems are measured over the full azimuthal angle and the • diffractive protons within the acceptance of the elastic ones. • At low diffractive masses, the acceptance could be – importantly - extended down • to 1.2 GeV (?) by installing additional veto counters at ± 60 to ± 140m.

Semi-hard diffraction: Significance CDF & D0 results for SD/incl. ratio • Soft diffractive dynamics + objects signifying the hard scale: high ET jets, heavy quarks, • heavy bosons, new heavy particles? • measurement up to rapidities of h 6 probes quark and gluon structure of diffraction[1] • The ratio b xBj/ interpreted as the momentum fraction of a parton within the Pomeron. [1] However, it is known that in low impact parameter reactions, a single Pomeron does not dominate diffraction...
Single diffraction: Strategy • The kinematics of these events is defined by the invariant mass and • pseudorapidity of the diffractive system. • The measurement aims at reconstructing the produced hard objects • within the full acceptance region of the TOTEMCMS+ set-up. • Semi-hard diffractive events are recorded during the custom and nominal • runs with b 1540 m, 90 m, 18 m and 0.55m for diffractive masses of • M > 3 (1.1) GeV
Low-x physics: Significance • The detection of low-x processes is based on tagging the objects (jets, heavy quarks, heavy bosons) that signify a hard scale in both central and forward rapidities. • TOTEMCMS could test a number of specific predictions based on the optical low-x model by Frankfurt, Strikman and Weiss by measuring: • The type of leading particles: nucleons and N* states. • Transverse momenta of the leading particles for p 1 GeV/c. • Correlations between the transverse momenta of leading hadrons. • Particle flows for particles in the fractional momentum region of z 0.02 - • 0.05 in both fragmentation regions (long range rapidity correlations) and • particle/energy flows of h = 4 - 6.
Low-x measurements: Strategy • The aim of the TOTEMCMS set-up is to measure jets at rapidities h 6 up to transverse energies of ET 10 GeV to reach x 10-6 transform LHC into a deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) machine. • Correlations between the forward (x 10-2) and central jets (x 10-2), heavy • quarks and heavy bosons proton - parton configurations in three dimensions. • Forward jets in triggering for new phenomena in high-ET central processes. • The CASTOR calorimeter covers the pseudorapidity region of 5.4 h 6.7, • similar to the coverage of the T2 tracking station measure the forward jets. • With a modest (veto)detector upgrade, the rapidity acceptance could be • extended up to h 11 reach x 10-8 .
Central diffraction: Significance • A good environment for the production of • exotic meson states (glueballs, hybrids,...) • via gg M in • pp p + M + p • - 90 m optics could be used for this! • A strong coupling for glueballs and hybrids • as a result of the assumed two-gluon • exchange? • High statistics studies possible with the • 'gluon collider' mode of the LHC. • Here azimuthal correlations with the quasi- • elastic pair of leading protons can be • particularly significant.
Central diffraction: Significance... • Heavy quark systems could be produced exclusively in CED (see KMR); • - First indications have been reported by the CDF Collaboration at the Tevatron… • b0(1P) (m = 9859.9 1.0 MeV), with an upper limit of Br(g(1S)) = 6%. • - The decay upsilon subsequently decays into l +l - with ~2.5% branching ratio into each lepton species • The signature is remarkable: nothing but l +l –g in the entire central detector. - The low E of the photon complicates the trigger, however…
Central Diffraction • The Hard Central Exclusive Diffractive (CED) processes: • pp p + MX + p, • will extend the physics programme at the LHC. • The process facilitates both QCD asymptotics and searches for physics beyond the • standard model. • Rapidity gaps (when available) provide a clean environment for investigating the • signal events experimentally. • A colour singlet state, MX, is produced with a minimal background from soft secondary particles; LHC is turned into a gluon factory. For low mass CD interactions, short runs with the custom optics (b* = 90 m and 1540 m). For the CED Higgs events (central masses below 250 GeV), the leading proton measurement stations at 420 m and the nominal LHC optics with b* 0.55 m is required. For central masses in excess of 250 GeV, low-b* conditions together with the leading proton measurement at the 220 m location are needed.
