Measurement of the average very forward energy as a function of the track multiplicity at central pseudorapidities in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV
The average total energy as well as its hadronic and electromagnetic components are measured with the CMS detector at pseudorapidities $-6.6<\eta <-5.2$ in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=13,\text {TeV} $ . The results are presented as a function of the charged particle multiplicity in the region $|\eta |<2$ . This measurement is sensitive to correlations induced by the underlying event structure over a very wide pseudorapidity region. The predictions of Monte Carlo event generators commonly used in collider experiments and ultra-high energy cosmic ray physics are compared to the data. All generators considered overestimate the fraction of energy going into hadrons.
