Abstract

The use of precise time-of-flight (ToF) detectors for measurements of diffractive and electromagnetic processes in proton-proton collisions is discussed. The performance of background rejection exploiting the ToF measurements of the forward protons is derived. The influence of additional timing measurements delivered by the central detectors is presented and the possible gain is studied.
