Gauge boson production at forward rapidities in single diffractive events at the LHC is investigated considering pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} =$$ s = 8 and 13 TeV. The impact of gap survival effects is analysed using two different models for the soft rescattering contributions. We demonstrate that using the forward shower counter Project at LHCb–HERSCHEL, together with the Vertex Locator–VELO,...
