Diffraction and Structure Functions

Forward physics with CMS at the LHC covers a wide range of physics subjects, including very low-x QCD, underlying event and multiple interactions characteristics, photon-mediated processes, shower development at the energy scale of primary cosmic ray interactions with the atmosphere, diffraction in the presence of a hard scale and even MSSM Higgs discovery in central exclusive production....

59. Forward physics program with ATLAS at the LHC

Diffraction and Structure Functions

The potential of forward physics measurements at ATLAS is presented. A brief description of the ZDC and LHCf is given, along with the dedicated luminosity system, LUCID and ALFA. The physics measurements include low luminosity elastic and diffractive measurements using the existing forward detectors and upgraded proton tagging at high luminosity to search for new physics.
