We present recent CMS results on diffraction in pp collisions at 7 TeV. Measurements of soft diffractive cross sections, as well as hard diffractive production of dijets and vector bosons are discussed. The results are compared to predictions of various Monte Carlo models.

Exclusive vector meson production is studied in the dimuon channel using the LHCb detector. The production cross-sections are measured in the kinematic region corresponding to the LHCb acceptance. The J/ψ photoproduction cross-section is reported as a function of the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy, and compared to previous measurements and theoretical predictions.

We briefly describe the elements of the GLM model, that successfully describes both elastic and diffractive hadronic interactions at energies from ISR to LHC. The model is based on a single Pomeron with a large intercept \Delta_{Pom} = 0.23 and slope \alpha'_{Pom} ~ 0, and so provides a natural matching with perturbative QCD. We analyze the energy behaviour of the elastic, single...

The measurement of the inelastic cross section for proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV using data from the CMS detector at the LHC will be presented. The analysis is based on an event counting method that takes into account corrections for pileup, acceptance, beam related and electromagnetic background as well as selection inefficiencies due to diffractive...

Due to its unique pseudorapidity coverage and the possibility of extending measurements to low transverse momenta, LHCb provides important input to the understanding of particle production in a kinematical range where QCD models have large uncertainties. Measurements of particle production are performed in the approximate pseudorapidity range 2<η<5, which corresponds to the acceptance of the...
