Review of recent forward physics results from the CMS experiment

Abstract

There is a rich program of forward physics measurements within the CMS Collaboration covering a wide range of topics. In many cases there is a connection to quantities and effects relevant for very high energy cosmic ray interaction. Some of the recent measurements in the fields of exclusive final states, low-pT inclusive and diffractive cross sections, underlying event, multi parton interactions, double parton scattering, final state particle correlations and minimum bias results are briefly summarized here.
