Abstract

AbstractThe Scattering and Neutrino Detector at the LHC (SND@LHC) started taking data at the beginning of Run 3 of the LHC. The experiment is designed to perform measurements with neutrinos produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC in an energy range between 100 GeV and 1 TeV. It covers a previously unexplored pseudo-rapidity range of

$$7.2<\eta <8.4$$

7.2 < η < 8.4 . The detector is located 480 m downstream of the ATLAS interaction point in the TI18 tunnel. It comprises a veto system, a target consisting of tungsten plates interleaved with nuclear emulsion and scintillating fiber (SciFi) trackers, followed by a muon detector (UpStream, US and DownStream, DS). In this article we report the measurement of the muon flux in three subdetectors: the emulsion, the SciFi trackers and the DownStream Muon detector. The muon flux per integrated luminosity through an 18

$$\times $$

× 18 cm

$$^{2}$$

2 area in the emulsion is:

$$\begin{aligned} 1.5 \pm 0.1(\text {stat}) \times 10^4\,\text {fb/cm}^{2}. \end{aligned}$$

1.5 ± 0.1 ( stat ) × 10 4 fb/cm 2 . The muon flux per integrated luminosity through a 31

$$\times $$

× 31 cm

$$^{2}$$

2 area in the centre of the SciFi is:

$$\begin{aligned} 2.06\pm 0.01(\text {stat})\pm 0.12(\text {sys}) \times 10^{4} \text {fb/cm}^{2} \end{aligned}$$

2.06 ± 0.01 ( stat ) ± 0.12 ( sys ) × 10 4 fb/cm 2 The muon flux per integrated luminosity through a 52

$$\times $$

× 52 cm

$$^{2}$$

2 area in the centre of the downstream muon system is:

$$\begin{aligned} 2.35\pm 0.01(\text {stat})\pm 0.10(\text {sys}) \times 10^{4}\,\text {fb/cm}^{2} \end{aligned}$$

2.35 ± 0.01 ( stat ) ± 0.10 ( sys ) × 10 4 fb/cm 2 The total relative uncertainty of the measurements by the electronic detectors is 6

$$\%$$

% for the SciFi and 4

% for the DS measurement. The Monte Carlo simulation prediction of these fluxes is 20–25

$$\%$$

% lower than the measured values.
