Abstract: (Springer)
The average total energy as well as its hadronic and electromagnetic components are measured with the CMS detector at pseudorapidities 6.6<η<5.2-6.6<\eta <-5.2 in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy s=13TeV\sqrt{s}=13\,\text {TeV} . The results are presented as a function of the charged particle multiplicity in the region η<2|\eta |<2 . This measurement is sensitive to correlations induced by the underlying event structure over a very wide pseudorapidity region. The predictions of Monte Carlo event generators commonly used in collider experiments and ultra-high energy cosmic ray physics are compared to the data. All generators considered overestimate the fraction of energy going into hadrons.
