60 μb⁻¹ of integrated luminosity from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected by the ATLAS detector at CERN's LHC. The dataset measures the inelastic cross section using forward scintillation counters for event selection. Results are provided for a kinematic cut-off of M_X > 13 GeV and extrapolated to the full phase space.
Use Cases
- Validate theoretical models of inelastic proton-proton scattering based on the measured cross section at 13 TeV.
- Calibrate Monte Carlo event generators for the LHC based on the forward region event selection criteria.
- Study the energy dependence of hadronic cross sections based on the high-precision measurement at a new energy frontier.
- Extract diffractive contribution parameters based on the analysis with a specific cut-off of M_X > 13 GeV.
Strengths
- Integrated luminosity of 60 μb⁻¹ provides a defined data volume for analysis.
- Measurement is performed at the high-energy frontier of 13 TeV centre-of-mass energy.
- Results are provided for a specific kinematic cut-off and extrapolated, offering two data points.
Limitations
