Michael Weber (University of Houston (US))10/09/2013, 11:30PleanaryThe recently accepted Letter of Intent for the upgrade of the ALICE experiment sets the stage for the physics program once the original goal of 1/nb of Pb-Pb of the currently approved program have been achieved. This talk will focus on some of the current highlights of elementary pp, pPb, and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC and demonstrate, how the upgrade will lead into a new era of...Go to contribution page

Archana Sharma (CERN)10/09/2013, 12:00Higgs Boson SearchPleanaryCalorimetry, muon detection, vertexing, and tracking will play a central role in determining the physics reach for the High Luminosity (HL) Large Hadron Collider (LHC) era demanding unprecedented options and R&D efforts necessary to upgrade the current LHC detectors and enabling discoveries. Several detector upgrades are foreseen for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector currently...Go to contribution page

Alan Watson (University of Birmingham (GB))10/09/2013, 12:30The LHC already operates at unprecedented energies and luminosities. The approved Run 2 (2015-2017, 10^34 cm-2s-1) and Run 3 (2019-2021, 2 x 10^34 cm-2s-1) phases, and the planned HL-LHC (2024-, up to 5 x 10^34 cm-2s-1) will bring unprecedented challenges for detector and trigger systems, which must be met is the physics goals of the programme are to be achieved. ATLAS has a programme of...Go to contribution page

Prithwish Tribedy (VECC, Koklkata)10/09/2013, 13:00Hot and Dense Nuclear MatterPleanaryDeeply inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments at HERA demonstrated a rapid growth of gluon density inside a proton at small momentum fraction ( x). In the framework of parton model this growth is interpreted in terms of linear gluon bremsstrahlung and predicted to saturate due non-linear processes such as gluon recombination or screening. Due to these two competing processes hadron becomes...Go to contribution page
