“…Of similar importance is the measurement of the energy flow and particle spectra in the forward range |η| = 5 -10 [30]. This is an angular range that has been historically very difficult to access in collider experiments but that is partially covered by various detectors at the LHC such as TOTEM [21] and CASTOR (CMS) [31]. Preliminary results of the energy flow in the |η| = 3 -5 range indicate a good data-model agreement at √ s = 0.9 and 7 TeV [32] (Fig.…”

First data on inclusive particle production measured in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are compared to predictions of various hadron-interaction Monte Carlos (QGSJET, EPOS and SIBYLL) used commonly in high-energy cosmic-ray physics. While reasonable overall agreement is found for some of the models, none of them reproduces consistently the √ s evolution of all the measured observables. We discuss the implications of the new LHC data for the modeling of the non-perturbative and semihard parton dynamics in hadron-hadron and cosmic-rays interactions at the highest energies studied today.

“…Each wedge is subdivided into 13 segments in η, called towers. The very forward angles are covered at one end of CMS (−6.6 < η < −5.2) by the CASTOR calorimeter [24]. This detector, consisting of tungsten absorbers and quartz detection planes, is segmented in 16 φ-sectors and into 2 electromagnetic and 12 hadronic modules along the beam line, corresponding to a total of 224 cells.…”

A measurement of the inelastic proton-proton cross section with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of √ s = 13 TeV is presented. The analysis is based on events with energy deposits in the forward calorimeters, which cover pseudorapidities of −6.6 < η < −3.0 and +3.0 < η < +5.2. An inelastic cross section of 68.6 ± 0.5 (syst) ± 1.6 (lumi) mb is obtained for events with M X > 4.1 GeV and/or M Y > 13 GeV, where M X and M Y are the masses of the diffractive dissociation systems at negative and positive pseudorapidities, respectively. The results are compared with those from other experiments as well as to predictions from high-energy hadron-hadron interaction models.

“…The azimuthal segmentation ∆φ of all towers is 10 • , except for the ones at highest-|η|, which have ∆φ = 20 • . More forward angles, −6.6 < η < −5.2, are covered by the CASTOR calorimeter [35], which is located only on the negative z-side of CMS, at 14.37 m from the IP. The calorimeter is segmented in 16 φ-sectors and 14 z-modules, corresponding to a total of 224 cells.…”

Recent CMS results on diffraction are presented. These include the measurements of the soft diffractive cross sections, of the forward rapidity gap cross section, of the diffractive dijet cross section, the measurement of a large rapidity gap in W and Z boson events and the measurement of the pseudorapidity distribution of charged particles in a single diffractive enhanced sample. This last measurement is the first common result of the CMS and TOTEM collaborations. Some prospects of common CMS-TOTEM data taking are also discussed.
