Measurement of the average very forward energy as a function of the track multiplicity at central pseudorapidities in proton-proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=13\,\text {TeV} $$s=13TeV

Abstract The average total energy as well as its hadronic and electromagnetic components are measured with the CMS detector at pseudorapidities $$-6.6<\eta <-5.2$$-6.6<η<-5.2 in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $$\sqrt{s}=13\,\text {TeV} $$s=13TeV. The results are pre...

Description
Summary:Abstract The average total energy as well as its hadronic and electromagnetic components are measured with the CMS detector at pseudorapidities $$-6.6<\eta <-5.2$$-6.6<η<-5.2 in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $$\sqrt{s}=13\,\text {TeV} $$s=13TeV. The results are presented as a function of the charged particle multiplicity in the region $$|\eta |<2$$|η|<2. This measurement is sensitive to correlations induced by the underlying event structure over a very wide pseudorapidity region. The predictions of Monte Carlo event generators commonly used in collider experiments and ultra-high energy cosmic ray physics are compared to the data. All generators considered overestimate the fraction of energy going into hadrons.
