Abstract

We analyse the cross-section of events with Large Rapidity Gaps observed in proton–lead collisions by the CMS Collaboration (arXiv:2301.07630). The role of the transverse size of elementary pN amplitude is discussed. We emphasize that the cross-section of incoming proton dissociation caused by the photon radiated off the lead ion is close to the value of dσ/dΔηF\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$d\\sigma /d\\Delta \\eta ^F$$\\end{document} measured by the CMS, and it is not clear why there is no room in the data for the Pomeron-induced contribution
