  12. LHC Experiments: pT- coverage • The base line LHC experiments will cover the central rapidity region. • TOTEM+ CMS will complement the coverage in the forward region • ALICE & LHCb have restricted eta coverage wrt to ATLAS & CMS James L. Pinfold TAHOE 2007 11

Installation ~’08-’09? M = O(1.0 - 2.0) GeV James L. Pinfold TAHOE 2007 15

  17. LHCf Experiment • LHCf: measurement of photons and neutral pions in the very forward region of LHC • Add an EM calorimeter at 140 m from the Interaction Point (of ATLAS) (Scintillating fiber /Tungsten calorimeter + Silicon strip det. Calorimeter) • At the LHC the 14 TeV Ecm translates to a 1017 eV Lab. Energy - by comparing experimental results with MC predictions one can tune MC used in cosmic ray EAS simulation. 400 GeV photon I TeV neutron James L. Pinfold TAHOE 2007 16

  18. LHC Forward Physics & Cosmic Rays • Measurement of forward hadronic particle production at the LHC will play a key role in understanding UHECR EAS where major in uncertainties in our understanding still exist • The NEEDS workshop (Karlsruhre 2002) listed the hadronic interaction data (pp/pA/ AA) required from collider measurements: • Precise measurement of stot& sinel. p-p x-sec • Energy distribution of leading FS nucleon • Measurement of sdiff/sinel • Inclusive p-spectra in the frag. region xF >0.1 • The phenomenological models describing non-perturbative QCD hadronic multi-particle production in HECR simulation,are: • Low/medium energy: GHEISHA, FLUKA, UrQMD, TARGET, HADRIN, etc • High energy: DPMJETII.5 &III, neXus 3.0, QGSjet 01, SIBYLL 2.1, etc • The models describe the Tevatron well - but LHC model predictions reveal large discrepancies in extrapolation ET (LHC) E(LHC) James L.

  21. LOW X AT THE LHC LHC: due to the high energy can reach small values of Bjorken-x in structure of the proton F(x,Q2) Processes:  Drell-Yan  Prompt photon production  Jet production  W production If rapidities below 5 and masses below 10 GeV can be Covered--> x down to 10-6-10-7 Possible with T2 upgrade in TOTEM (calorimeter, tracker) 5<< 6.7 ! Proton structure at low-x !! Parton saturation effects?

  22. The p-p Total Cross-section • The ATLAS approach is to measure elastic scattering down to such small t-values that the cross section becomes sensitive to the EM amp. via the Coulomb interference term. • In this case an additional valuable constraint is available from the well-known EM amplitude, as can be seen from: that describes elastic scattering at small t • sT, L and the slope parameter b can be determined by a fit to the above expression • At 7 TeV the strong amplitude is equal to the EM amplitude for |t| = 0.00065 GeV2. This corresponds to a scattering angle of 3.5 µrad – thus we need special beam optics • LHC measurement of sTOT expected to be at the 1% level – useful in the extrapolation up to HECR energies 10% difference in measurements of Tevatron Expts: (log s) James L. Pinfold IVECHRI 2006 14

  23. LHC Operation in a Normal Year LHC OPERATION • 140-180 days of running per year • 100-120 days of p-p collisions per year • 4 x 106s of proton luminosity running per year. • Around 40 days of heavy-ion (30 days) and TOTEM running per year HEAVY ION PROGRAM (at present) • LHC Phase I: Collisions with Pb ions “baseline programme” • LHC Phase II: Collisions with lighter ions (A-A collisions –Cand’s: He, O, Ar, Kr, In) • LHC Upgrade Programme: so-called hybrid collisions (e.g. p-A collisions - Pb, Ar, 0) James L. Pinfold IVECHRI 2006 3

  24. The Experimental Challenge • High interaction rate • pp interaction rate 109 interactions/s • Only ~100 events chosen out of 40 MHz event rate • Level-1 trigger decision will take 2-3 ms Electronics needs to store data locally (pipelining) • Large particle multiplicity • <23> superposed events in each crossing • ~100 tracks stream into the detector each 25 ns Need highly granular detectors with good time resolution for low occupancy • Very good muon ID and momentum measurement trigger efficiently and measure the sign of a few TeV muons • Good energy resolution in the EM calorimetry (eg for Hgg) ~0.5% @ ET~50 GeV • Precise inner tracking for good mom. resolution & vertexing (b-decays ~10 better momentum resolution than at LEP • Hermetic calorimeter Good ETmiss resolution • High Radiation levels (10MRads/yr & 1014 n’s/cm2/yr in the Forward reg) Need radiation hard detectors and electronics James L.
