Physics prospects with the ALFA and AFP detectors

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We will describe the experimental challenge presented by the measurement of the forward protons at the LHC. The ATLAS ALFA and AFP projects involve the deployment of detectors capable of detecting protons that emerge intact from the interaction with verysmall scattering angles. In the case of the ALFA detector, located at 240 m from the ATLAS interaction point, this mea- surement has to be performed using special high b beam optics. The detector chosen for the task is a nearly edgeless scintillating fibre tracker capable of making measurements at very low t - below 10?3GeV2 - in the nuclear Coulomb interference region. In order to reach these very small t values we need to deploy the detector very near to the beam line utilizing Roman Pots. The main purpose of the ALFA detector is to measure the total p-p cross-section, a fundamental quantity in hadronic physics of importance to particle and to cosmic ray physicists and to provide absolute measurement of luminosity which includes even
