29/04/2014, 14:00

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

The Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) is a proposed facility which will exploit the LHC beams for electron-proton/nucleus scattering, using a new 60 GeV electron accelerator. Following the release of its detailed technical design report in 2012, the configuration of a linac with racetrack shape has been chosen for its default design. Further work has been pursued in order to adapt the...

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

The Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) is a proposed facility which will exploit the LHC and FCC proton beams for electron-proton scattering, using either a new 60 GeV electron accelerator or one of the FCC 'ee' beams.

143. Parton distributions in the proton from the LHeC

Voica Ana Maria Radescu (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

29/04/2014, 14:40

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

Due to the high energy and luminosity, the LHeC, for the first time, permits the unfolding of all parton momentum distributions: six quarks (including top) and gluon, over five orders of magnitude. It also determines the strong coupling constant with unprecedented precision, including a unique program for settling the heavy quark densities. The complete determination of the proton...

90. Exclusive vector meson production at high energies and gluon saturation

Amir Rezaeian (Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria)

29/04/2014, 15:00

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

We investigate exclusive diffractive photoproduction of vector mesons (J/ψ, ϕ and ρ) off protons in high-energy collisions. We confront saturation-based results for diffractive J/ψ photoproduction with all available data including recent ones from HERA and LHCb. We show that while the total J/ψ cross-section is affected by uncertainties related to the charm mass, the t-distribution of...

34. An ep collider based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration

Matthew Wing (UCL)

29/04/2014, 15:20

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

Recent simulations have shown that a high-energy proton bunch can excite strong plasma wakefields and accelerate a bunch of electrons to the energy frontier in a single stage of acceleration. Using this scheme could lead to a future ep collider using the protons from the LHC and a compact electron accelerator up to an energy of 100 GeV with a length of about 170 metres. The parameters of...

230. Precision proton-proton and proton-nucleus collision studies at A Fixed-Target ExpeRiment at the LHC (AFTER@LHC)

29/04/2014, 15:40

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

We discuss the physics opportunities [1] which are offered by a next generation and multi-purpose fixed-target experiment exploiting the LHC beams. The multi-TeV LHC proton beam grants the most energetic fixed-target experiment ever performed, to study pp, pd and pA collisions at sqrt(s_NN) ~ 115 GeV. AFTER@LHC -- for A Fixed-Target ExperRiment -- gives access to new domains of particle and...

13. LHCb Upgrade

Tomasz Szumlak (AGH University of Science and Technology (PL))

29/04/2014, 16:30

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

The LHCb experiment is designed to perform high-precision measurements of CP violation and search for New Physics using the enormous flux of beauty and charmed hadrons produced at the LHC. The operation and the results obtained from the data collected do far demonstrate that the detector is robust and functioning very well. We therefore plan for an upgraded spectrometer by 2018 with a 40 MHz...

182. Upgrading the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter electronics

Julio Vieira De Souza (Juiz de Fora Federal University (BR))

29/04/2014, 16:50

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is the hadronic calorimeter covering the central region of the ATLAS experiment at LHC. The TileCal readout consists of about 10000 channels. Its main upgrade will occur for the High Luminosity LHC phase (phase 2) where the peak luminosity will increase 5-fold compared to the design luminosity (10exp34 cm−2s−1) but with maintained energy (i.e. 7+7 TeV). An...

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

After successful LHC operation at the center-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV in 2011 and 2012, plans are actively advancing for a series of upgrades, culminating roughly 10 years from now in the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, delivering of order five times the LHC nominal instantaneous luminosity along with luminosity levelling. The final goal is to extend the data set from about few...

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

The NA62 Experiment at CERN aims to collect about 100 K->pinunu events in two years of data, keeping the background below 20%. The general physics program of the experiment and the prospects of the pinunu analysis in view of the first run scheduled for end 2014 will be reviewed.

136. Prospects for constrained supersymmetry at $\sqrt{s}=33$ TeV and $\sqrt{s}=100$ TeV proton-proton super-colliders

Dr Andrew Fowlie (KBFI, Tallinn)

29/04/2014, 17:50

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

Discussions are underway for a high-energy proton-proton collider. Two preliminary ideas are the $\sqrt{s}=33$ TeV HE-LHC and the $\sqrt{s}=100$ TeV VLHC. With Bayesian statistics, we calculate the probabilities that the LHC, HE-LHC and VLHC discover SUSY in the future, assuming that nature is described by the CMSSM and given the experimental data from the LHC, LUX and Planck. We find...

The long-term upgrade plan for the RHIC facility foresees the addition of a high-energy polarized electron beam to the existing hadron machine, thus converting RHIC into an Electron-Ion Collider (eRHIC) with luminosities exceeding ${10}^{33}c{m}^{-1}{s}^{-1}$ [1]. The main physics topics to be explored at this new facility are (i) the polarized sea quark and gluon distributions in the...

Ernst Sichtermann (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

30/04/2014, 15:00

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

A high-luminosity polarized Electron Ion Collider (EIC) has been proposed to address 1) the distribution of the sea quarks and gluons, and their spins, in space and momentum inside the nucleon, 2) the dynamics of the gluon-dense regime in nuclei, 3) hadronization and energy loss in the nuclear medium. Such an EIC can be realized by the addition of an electron beam to the existing Relativistic...

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

As a particular realization of an electron ion collider (EIC), the eRHIC project envisions the addition of a high intensity polarized electron beam to the existing RHIC facility, providing e+p and e+A collisions and enabling precision studies of the partonic structure of hadronic matter. To fully exploit the physics potential of eRHIC, the PHENIX Collaboration is proposing a detector built...

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

In the next decade the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will embark on detailed studies of the Quark Gluon Plasma with a major upgrade to the PHENIX detector, known as sPHENIX. To fully exploit the capabilities of sPHENIX and RHIC in spin-polarized p+p and p+A collisions the PHENIX Collaboration is proposing new instrumentation in the forward (proton-going) direction as an addition to...

178. Probing Gluon Saturation through Dihadron Correlations at an Electron-Ion Collider

J.H. Lee (Brookhave National Laboratory)

30/04/2014, 16:00

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

It is the ultimate goal of nuclear physics to understand the emergence of nuclear structure and dynamics in terms of quarks and gluons. Although past experiments were successful in determining the quark behavior in the nucleon and light nuclei, the gluons that determine the essential features of the strong interactions, remain largely unexplored. Of great interest is especially the high parton...

Oral presentation

The Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) is a proposed facility which will exploit the LHC and FCC heavy ion beams for electron-nucleus scattering, using either a new 60 GeV electron accelerator or one of the FCC 'ee' beams. The kinematic coverage extends beyond previous deep inelastic lepton-ion experiments by nearly four orders of magnitude at low Bjorken-x and...

142. Higgs in ep and the FCC-he project

Monica D'Onofrio (University of Liverpool (GB))

30/04/2014, 17:10

WG7: Future experiments

Oral presentation

The LHeC with a high luminosity of $O($ab${}^{-1})$ gives a unique access to the WW-H and ZZ-H production modes and to various decay channels, as into $b\overline{b}$, $c\overline{c}$ and ${\tau }^{+}{\tau }^{-}$, which are difficult to study precisely at the LHC because of the more involved experimental and theoretical conditions. The FCC-he promises access to the $t\overline{t}$H and H-HH channels which have too...
