Abstract
There is a rich program of forward physics measurements within the CMS Collaboration covering a wide range of topics. In many cases there is a connection to quantities and effects relevant for very high energy cosmic ray interactions. Some of the recent measurements in the fields of exclusive final states, low-pT inclusive and diffractive cross sections, underlying event, multiparton interactions, double parton scattering, final state particle correlations and minimum bias results are briefly summarized here.
Highlights
In this proceedings some of the recent results of the forward physics activity of the CMS Collaboration are summarized
It is interesting that these measurements are not just limited to small angles, but in particular cover low-pT, exclusive final states and in particular minimum bias results
Some of the measurements described have a relation to very high energy cosmic ray interactions and can be of use to further improve the understanding of the modelling of those
Summary
In this proceedings some of the recent results of the forward physics activity of the CMS Collaboration are summarized. It is interesting that these measurements are not just limited to small (forward) angles, but in particular cover low-pT, exclusive final states and in particular minimum bias results. The type of measurements discussed here cover up to 14 orders of magnitude in cross section, ranging from very rare exclusiv√e W+W− pair production in proton-proton collisions at s =8 TeV with a cross cross section section ionnptrhoetoonr-dleeardocfoOll(i1si0ofnbs)aut p√tsoNtNhe=5in.0c2luTsievVe on the order of O(barn). Some of the measurements described have a relation to very high energy cosmic ray interactions and can be of use to further improve the understanding of the modelling of those
