Description

The 12-13 December 2024 two-day workshop of the LHC Physics Centre at CERN (LPCC) Forward Physics Working Group provides a forum at CERN for experimental collaborations and theorists to meet and exchange latest results across all topics of forward physics at the LHC. 

Forward physics is a diverse program at the LHC that requires innovative instrumentation and unique techniques to measure high-rapidity particles missed by standard central detectors. Special instrumentation ranges from near-beam spectrometers to zero degree calorimeters. Recent results have witnessed a remarkable breadth of advances underscoring the creativity of this community:

  • definitive elastic scattering measurements, 
  • nonperturbative dynamics of the strong force,
  • forward proton and neutron scattering,
  • photon fusion production,
  • collider neutrino measurements,
  • searches for prompt and long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model,
  • synergies with cosmic-ray observatories.

These developments open future opportunities to develop in exciting new directions.

This series of inter-experiment workshops provides a regular exchange of latest LHC results, ideas and techniques between experimentalists and theorists, sharpening open questions to chart future developments. We are a vibrant international community drawn to the richness of forward physics, where newcomers and early-career researchers are especially welcome to showcase their science.
