Performance of the CMS Zero Degree Calorimeters in the 2016 pPb run

Two neutral particle detectors, Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDCs) at the LHC-CMS experiment, cover the $\lvert\eta\rvert > 8.5$ region. The ZDCs are Cherenkov calorimeters that use tungsten as the absorber and quartz clad quartz fibers as the active medium. They have a five element electromagnetic section followed by a hadronic section divided into four depth segments. For the 2016 pPb run, the ZDCs were calibrated using test beam data and the single spectator neutron peak at $2.56$~TeV. Peaks corresponding to 1, 2 and 3 neutrons are visible in the ZDC total signal distribution. The effect of pileup is corrected by a Fourier deconvolution method. Using this, the spectator neutron number distribution can be unfolded by a linear regularization method. This information serves as a strong constraint to models of pPb collisions and has the potential to produce an unbiased measure of centrality in pPb collisions.
