Where: contact Jingbo Ye or Allison Deiana for information
The SMU ATLAS group invites the department to a special seminar by Dr. Lukasz Fulek from AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland. The talk is entitled “Physics with Forward Protons at RHIC and LHC.” It is virtual and begins at 11am US Central Time.
The presentation will be an overview of the diffractive physics at the STAR experiment at RHIC and the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The forward scattered protons, which remain intact after the proton–proton collision are detected in Roman Pot detectors, thus selecting processes proceeding mainly via exchange of a particle carrying quantum numbers of the vacuum, commonly known as the Pomeron. Particular emphasis will be placed on the measurements of the total and elastic cross sections, exclusive processes in double diffractive and charged-particle production in single diffractive dissociation processes. Finally, the predictions of various phenomenological models at the RHIC and LHC energies are discussed.
This event is organized by Prof. Jingbo Ye and Prof. Allison Deiana. For connection information, please contact them!
