Igor Alekseev (ITEP) for pp2pp 9 Elastic events selection Hit correlations before the cuts Note: the background appears enhanced because of the “saturation” of the main band Only inner roman pots were used. “OR” of X and Y silicon pairs in each roman pot was used. A match of hit coordinates (x,y) from detectors on the opposite sides of the IP was used to select elastic events. Elastic events loss due to selection criteria < 3.5% Total number of elastic events selected 2.3·10 6 t-range
