Contribution
It introduces a new parameterisation method for proton transport through the LHC magnet lattice and evaluates its impact on particle mass resolution.
Findings
Proton energy unfolding improves mass resolution accuracy.
Parameterisation accurately models proton transport in the LHC.
Transport effects significantly influence diffractive event reconstruction.
Abstract
The measurement of diffractively scattered protons in the ATLAS Forward Physics detector system placed 220 m away from the ATLAS interaction point is studied. A parameterisation of the scattered proton transport through the LHC magnet lattice is presented. The proton energy unfolding and its impact on the centrally produced scalar particle mass resolution are discussed.
