Description
Studies of the forward processes are important tests of the standard model and inputs for Monte Carlo tuning. A measurement of the energy flow in the forward pseudorapidity region of CMS, 3.15 < |eta| < 4.9, is presented for 3 values of the centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 0.9 TeV, 2.36 TeV and 7 TeV. The forward energy flow is measured for Minimum Bias events and for events with a central dijet system whose transverse energy provides a hard scale. The energy flow is compared to various Monte Carlo models with different multiparton interaction schemes. A study of the forward jets in the pseudorapidity range 3.2 < |eta| < 4.7 is presented for sqrt(s) = 7 TeV.
