Measurements of cross sections of inelastic and diffractive processes in proton--proton collisions at LHC energies were carried out with the ALICE detector. The fractions of diffractive processes in inelastic collisions were determined from a study of gaps in charged particle pseudorapidity distributions: for single diffraction (diffractive mass $M_X < 200$ GeV/$c^2$) $\\sigma_{\\rm SD}/\\sigma_{\\rm INEL} = 0.21 \\pm 0.03, 0.20^{+0.07}_{-0.08}$, and $0.20^{+0.04}_{-0.07}$, respectively at centre-of-mass energies $\\sqrt{s} = 0.9, 2.76$, and 7 TeV; for double diffraction (for a pseudorapidity gap $\\Delta\\eta > 3$) $\\sigma_{\\rm DD}/\\sigma_{\\rm INEL} = 0.11 \\pm 0.03, 0.12 \\pm 0.05$, and $0.12^{+0.05}_{-0.04}$, respectively at $\\sqrt{s} = 0.9, 2.76$, and 7 TeV. To measure the inelastic cross section, beam properties were determined with van der Meer scans, and, using a simulation of diffraction adjusted to data, the following values were obtained: $\\sigma_{\\rm INEL} = 62.8^{+2.4}_{-4.0} (model) \\pm 1.2 (lumi)$ mb at $\\sqrt{s} =$ 2.76 TeV and $73.2^{+2.0}_{-4.6} (model) \\pm 2.6 (lumi)$ mb at $\\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV. The single- and double-diffractive cross sections were calculated combining relative rates of diffraction with inelastic cross sections. The results are compared to previous measurements at proton--antiproton and proton--proton colliders at lower energies, to measurements by other experiments at the LHC, and to theoretical models.\nData taken from the RIVET analysis code.","hasPart":[{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.68096.v1/t1","@type":"Dataset","description":"Production ratios of SD with $M_{X} < 200 GeV/c^2$ to INEL.","name":"Table 1"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.68096.v1/t2","@type":"Dataset","description":"Production ratios of DD with $\\Delta\\eta >3$ to INEL.","name":"Table 2"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.68096.v1/t3","@type":"Dataset","description":"Single diffraction cross-section for $M_{X} < 200 GeV/c^2$.","name":"Table 3"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.68096.v1/t4","@type":"Dataset","description":"Double diffraction cross-section for $\\Delta\\eta > 3$.","name":"Table 4"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.68096.v1/t5","@type":"Dataset","description":"Inelastic cross-section.","name":"Table 5"}],"identifier":[{"@type":"PropertyValue","propertyID":"HEPDataRecord","value":"https://www.hepdata.net/record/ins1181770?version=1"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","propertyID":"HEPDataRecordAlt","value":"https://www.hepdata.net/record/68096"}],"inLanguage":"en","name":"Measurement of inelastic, single- and double-diffraction cross sections in proton--proton collisions at the LHC with ALICE","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"HEPData"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"HEPData"},"url":"https://www.hepdata.net/record/ins1181770?version=1","version":1}
