Pseudorapidity distribution of charged hadrons in proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV

Abstract

The pseudorapidity distribution of charged hadrons in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV is measured using a data sample obtained with the CMS detector, operated at zero magnetic field, at the CERN LHC. The yield of primary charged long-lived hadrons produced in inelastic pp collisions is determined in the central region of the CMS pixel detector (|η|<2|η|<2) using both hit pairs and reconstructed tracks. For central pseudorapidities (|η|<0.5, the charged-hadron multiplicity density is dN_(ch)/dη|_(|η|) <0.5 = 5.49±0.01(stat)±0.17(syst), a value obtained by combining the two methods. The result is compared to predictions from Monte Carlo event generators and to similar measurements made at lower collision energies.
