M. Schmidt
TL;DR
This paper discusses the measurement of elastic proton-proton scattering using the ALFA subdetector at ATLAS during 2016, providing insights into total cross section and rho-parameter at 13 TeV.
Contribution
It presents the first measurements of elastic scattering parameters at 13 TeV using the ALFA detector in special LHC runs.
Findings
Measurement of total cross section at 13 TeV
Determination of rho-parameter at 13 TeV
Elastic scattering data collected at high energy
Abstract
The ALFA subdetector is designed to measure elastic proton-proton scattering from which the total cross section and -parameter are determined. In 2016, special runs at a center-of-mass energy of \,TeV and with \,km were recorded.
