Abstract

The differential cross-section of prompt inclusive production of long-lived charged particles in proton-proton collisions is measured using a data sample recorded by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13TeV. The data sample, collected with an unbiased trigger, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.4nb−1. The differential cross-section is measured as a function of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity in the ranges pT∈[0.08,10)GeVc−1 and η∈[2.0,4.8) and is determined separately for positively and negatively charged particles. The results are compared with predictions from various hadronic-interaction models.
