Outline• Running scenarios
• Forward proton measurement– Acceptance resolution– Background rates
• Trigger for diffraction
• DPE at low luminosity

Soft diff
Hard diffHard diff
Hard diff, rare processes
• 1540m: ideal optics for total x-section. Parallel to point focusing. Unfortunately unlikely at the beginning.• 90m: new optics. Likely at beginning (uses standard injection optics). Parallel to point focusing only in the vertical plane (primary vertex position needed).

Acceptance (RP 220m)
DPE events simulated with PHOJET and tracked with MAD
30% acc. contours

measurement: resolution (90m optics)
• 220m RP used• x=x(x*,): x from RP, x* from central dets• Mass resolution in DPE depends on lead/Nlead ratio
sM 21In DPE:

measurement: resolution (1540m optics)
• Using 145 and 220m RP with D2 in the middle: spectrometer

Background in RP• Beam halo: beam p’s lost from design orbit
• Beam-gas: shower particles from beam-gas interactions (simulated from upstream TAS to RP): rate < a few 100 Hz
• p-p: forward generated particles in p-p inelastic interactions in IP5

Diffractive trigger at low luminosityExample• Rate constraints:
• <1kHz @ L1• <100Hz on tape for special runs
• DPE and SD rates studied• DPE scheme: 2 protons + activity in T1/T2• SD scheme: 1 proton + activity in T1/T2 opposite side
• SD more sensitive to background
• For DPE left-right anti-collinearity required• Problem: no detailed info about low-pT (<20GeV) jets available
• ~50% for pT>20 GeV and ~100% for pT>50GeV

DPE at low luminosity• Final physics goals:
– Measure central mass – Measure Rapidity Gap survival probability– Measure cross sections d2/dtd
• Method: – Measure Rap. Gaps with whole TOTEM+CMS– Combine reconstructed directly or indirectly (Rap. Gaps) with the jets
reconstructed in CMS
• Simulation: two samples: soft DPE (PHOJET) and dijets DPE (DPEMC)Cross section Acceptance

Gap reconstruction
• Definition: Gap=10-max
max measured with T1, T2 and Ecal (barrel and endcaps)– T1/T2 tracks from full simulation
– Calorimetry from FAMOS
– Energy deposit >100 MeV in EB and >450 MeV in EF

Conclusion
• Interesting diffractive physics can be done by CMS/TOTEM also in the very first period of LHC operation (the 90m optics seems to be a rather good compromise between an easy-to-do and a good-for-physics optics)
• A draft of the work done so far for the PTDR is almost ready • The work is still in progress:
– Jet reconstruction difficult without much help from CMS– Rapidity Gap survival: no generator available to estimate how well we
can measure the fraction of survived gaps
