Inelastic cross section measurement in p-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV with the CMS experiment

The inelastic cross section has been measured in proton-lead collisions at centre-of-mass energies per nucleon of 5.02 TeV at the LHC. Nuclear scaling effects play an important role in the simulation of cosmic ray interactions and are studied in collisions with lead nuclei. We present an overview of...

Sumario:The inelastic cross section has been measured in proton-lead collisions at centre-of-mass energies per nucleon of 5.02 TeV at the LHC. Nuclear scaling effects play an important role in the simulation of cosmic ray interactions and are studied in collisions with lead nuclei. We present an overview of the related results published by the CMS Collaboration.
