Forward Physics with Rapidity Gaps at the LHC

A rapidity gap physics program with great potential can be realized at the LHC by adding a few simple forward shower counters (FSCs) along the beam line on both sides of the CMS detector. Measurement of single diffractive cross sections down to the lowest diffractive masses can be made with an effic...

description A rapidity gap physics program with great potential can be realized at the LHC by adding a few simple forward shower counters (FSCs) along the beam line on both sides of the CMS detector. Measurement of single diffractive cross sections down to the lowest diffractive masses can be made with an efficient level-one trigger. Exceptionally, the detectors also make feasible the study of Central Exclusive Diffraction, and in particular the interaction g g -> g g, in the colour-singlet channel, effectively becoming a "gluon-collider".

Exceptionally, the detectors also make feasible the study of Central Exclusive Diffraction, and in particular the interaction g g -> g g, in the colour-singlet channel, effectively becoming a "gluon-collider".A rapidity gap program with great potential can be realized at the Large Hadron Collider, LHC, by adding a few simple forward shower counters (FSCs) along the beam line on both sides of the main central detectors, such as CMS. Measurements of single diffractive cross sections down to the lowest masses can be made with an efficient level-1 trigger. Exceptionally, the detectors also make feasible the study of Central Diffractive Excitation, and in particular the reaction g + g to g + g, in the color singlet channel, effectively using the LHC as a gluon-gluon collider.arXiv:0811.0120FERMILAB-PUB-08-618-Eoai:cds.cern.ch:11377102008-11-04
