The cross-section in this kinematic range is determined to be σ acc inel = 55.0 ± 2.4 mb with an experimental uncertainty that is dominated by systematic contributions. Extrapolation to the full phase space, using Pythia 6, yields σinel = 66.9 ± 2.9 ± 4.4 mb, where the first uncertainty is experimental and the second is due to the extrapolation.16 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Garrido Beltrán, Lluis et al., 2015https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/HadronsGran Col·lisionador d'HadronsFísica de partículesHadronsLarge Hadron Collider (France and Switzerland)Particle physicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6537072022-05-17info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
