چکیده
Described in this paper is a new method for determining the non-diffractive part of the inelastic proton-proton cross section, at the LHC centre of mass energy of 14 TeV. The method is based on counting the number of inelastic proton-proton interactions in the collision regions. According to preliminary investigation, this measurement will be best suited for the initial low luminosity phase of the LHC. The dominant uncertainty on this measurement comes from knowledge of the proton-proton luminosity.

Prospects for the measurement of B 0 s oscillations with the ATLAS detector at LHC Abstract. The capabilities of the ATLAS detector to measure the B 0 s oscillations in proton-proton interactions at the Large Hadron Collider were evaluated. B 0 s candidates in the D − s π + and D − s a + 1 decay modes from semileptonic exclusive events were fully simulated and reconstructed, using a detailed de...

Heavy quark production in high-energy proton-nucleus (pA) collisions is described in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate. k ⊥ factorization is broken even at leading order albeit a more general factorization in pA holds at this order in terms of 2, 3 and 4 point correlators of Wilson lines in the nuclear target. The x-evolution of these correlators is computed in the large A and large N...

We argue that the process of the proton diffraction into three jets in proton-nucleus scattering at LHC will allow to investigate the light-cone wave function of protons, generalized gluon densities in nuclei at small x, as well as the interplay of the color transparency and opacity phenomena.

The little Higgs models typically contain a new vector-like top quark T , which plays a key role in breaking the electroweak symmetry. In the context of the littlest Higgs (LH) model, we study single production of this kind of new particle via the process ep → eb → νeT in the future linac-ring type ep collider (LC ⊗ LHC). We find that the production cross section is in the range of 1.2× 10— 0.4...

This is a review of the physics prospects for relativistic heavy ion collisions in the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The motivation for the study of superdense matter created in relativistic heavy ion collision is the prospect of observing a novel state of strongly interacting matter, the quark-gluon plasma. Experiments at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Col...
