FELIX, a full acceptance detector for the CERN LHC

Plans for FELIX, a full acceptance detector for the future CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), are described. The physics goals include detailed studies of the strong interactions (QCD), the forward energy flow and diffractive processes (Pomeron interactions), electroweak rapidity gaps, and elastic sc...

description Plans for FELIX, a full acceptance detector for the future CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), are described. The physics goals include detailed studies of the strong interactions (QCD), the forward energy flow and diffractive processes (Pomeron interactions), electroweak rapidity gaps, and elastic scattering. The precise measurement of particle production at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV, well above the cosmic ray ``knee", will be fundamental for the interpretation of the highest energy cosmic ray events and may clarify some of the anomalies indicated by some cosmic ray experiments. The magnetic architecture and some of the design issues are briefly reviewed.
