detail • • 116 FC triggers on 8, 275, 034 BPTX 2 x 109 protons per bunch 116 triggers on N=1. 7 x 1016 protons Suppose; – Gas density ρ[cm-3] – Effective distance L= 100 [m] = 10, 000 [cm] – Cross section σ=80 [mbarn] • ρLσN = 116 • ρ= 8. 5 x 106 H [cm-3] = 8. 5 x 1012 H [m-3] = 4 x 1012 H 2 [cm-3] • 1012 H 2 [cm-3] is predicted in LHC Project Report 783 • (LHCf aperture is ignored above)
