Forward Physics Capabilities of CMS with the CASTOR and ZDC detectors
arXiv:1008.0592
Abstract
The two calorimeters CASTOR and ZDCs enhance the hermeticity of the CMS detector at the LHC by extending the rapidity coverage in the forward region. After having described these detectors, their forward physics capabilities are presented. These latters include the study of parton shower, multiple parton interactions, diffraction and ultra high energy cosmic rays models. The processes to be measured to constrain these topics are multi-jet events with a forward jet, central-forward activity correlation, rapidity gaps and forward neutron production.
