Abstract: (Springer)

Very forward (VF) detectors in hadron colliders, having unique sensitivity to diffractive processes, can be a powerful tool for studying diffractive dissociation by combining them with central detectors. Several Monte Carlo simulation samples in p–p collisions at

\sqrt{s} = 13

TeV were analyzed, and different nondiffractive and diffractive contributions were clarified through differential cross sections of forward neutral particles. Diffraction selection criteria in the VF-triggered-event samples were determined by using the central track information. The corresponding selection applicable in real experiments has

\approx

100% purity and 30–70% efficiency. Consequently, the central information enables classification of the forward productions into diffraction and nondiffraction categories, in particular, most of the surviving events from the selection belong to low-mass diffraction events at

\log _{10}(\xi _{x}) < -5.5

. Therefore, the combined method can uniquely access the low-mass diffraction regime experimentally.
