Elastic differential cross-section measurement at $$\sqrt{s}=13$$ TeV by TOTEM
Abstract
The TOTEM collaboration has measured the elastic proton-proton differential cross section dσ/d t at √s = 13 TeV LHC energy using dedicated β* = 90 m beam optics. The Roman Pot detectors were inserted to 10σ distance from the LHC beam, which allowed the measurement of the range [0.04 GeV 2; 4 GeV 2] in four-momentum transfer squared | t|. The efficient data acquisition allowed to collect about 10 9 elastic events to precisely measure the differential cross-section including the diffractive minimum (dip), the subsequent maximum (bump) and the large-| t| tail. The average nuclear slope has been found to be B = (20.40 ± 0.002 stat ± 0.01syst) GeV –2 in the | t|-range 0.04–0.2 GeV 2. The dip position is | t dip| = (0.47 ± 0.004 stat ± 0.01 syst) GeV 2. The differential cross section ratio at the bump vs. at the dip R = 1.77 ± 0.01 stat has been measured with high precision. The series of TOTEM elastic pp measurements show that the dip is a permanent feature of the pp differential cross-section at the TeV scale.
