Workshop on "High-Energy Photon Collisions at the LHC"

22 Apr 2008, 09:00 → 25 Apr 2008, 18:30 Europe/Zurich

40-S2-B01 (CERN)

David d'Enterria (CERN), Krzysztof Piotrzkowski (Universite Catholique de Louvain), Michael Klasen (Grenoble)

Official web page

The workshop aims at discussing the physics of high-energy photon-induced collisions including perspectives at the LHC (gamma-proton and gamma-gamma collisions with proton and ion beams, ...), ILC (two-photon processes), as well as experimental and theoretical reviews of HERA (photoproduction), Tevatron (gamma-p,pbar, gamma-gamma), and RHIC (electromagnetic aka. "ultraperipheral" AA) results.
