Synergy workshop between ep/eA and pp/pA/AA physics experiments

29 Feb 2024, 09:00 → 1 Mar 2024, 13:00 Europe/Zurich

40/S2-B01 - Salle Bohr (CERN)

Jorgen D'Hondt (Vrije Universiteit Brussel (BE)), Yannis Papaphilippou (CERN)

During this workshop we will explore the potential impact of an ep/eA program in addition to an pp/pA/AA program and identify where further research is required to fully reveal the synergistic benefits. Within the current European Strategy, the particle physics community underlined the importance of studying the Higgs boson sector with improved precision and diversifying our search for new physics phenomena. Synergies on these priority themes will be discussed in the context of the LHC to verify where electron-proton collisions can both empower the proton-proton physics and extend the reach of both measurements and searches. These concrete developments in mapping synergies between ep/eA physics and pp/pA/AA physics at the LHC will be informative for further explorations in the context of an inclusive ee/ep/pp program at the FCC.

 

Theme 1: Proton structure

Theme 2: Higgs, Electroweak and top

Theme 3: Detector R&D on near beam line (forward) tracking and particle identification
