Special Joint LPC/LPCC meeting on the LHC forward physics programme (Run-2 and beyond)

Monday 31 Oct 2016, 14:00 → 18:00 Europe/Zurich

4/3-006 - TH Conference Room (CERN)

Christoph Schwick (CERN), Jamie Boyd (CERN), Michelangelo Mangano (CERN)

This is a special joint LPC/LPCC meeting on the LHC forward physics programme, for the rest of Run-2 and also after LS2. This should cover both aspects of the programme that can be carried out under nominal high luminosity pp running, and covered by special machine configurations (high Beta* etc...). The outcome of this meeting will be used as input for a discussion on this topic at the LHCC at the end of November.

1 Introduction to the landscape of forward and diffractive physics at the LHC: an overview of the studies documented in the report by the LHC Fwd Phys WG

Speakers: Christophe Royon (The University of Kansas (US)), Nicolo Cartiglia (INFN)
