Abstract
Abstract
The two Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDCs) of the CMS
experiment are located at ± 140 m from the collision point and
detect neutral particles in the |η| > 8.3 pseudorapidity
region. This paper presents a study on the performance of the ZDC in
the 2016 pPb run. The response of the detectors to ultrarelativistic
neutrons is studied using in-depth Monte Carlo simulations. A method
of signal extraction based on template fits is presented, along with
a dedicated calibration procedure. A deconvolution technique for the
correction of overlapping collision events is discussed.
