Suppose you want to detect a light SM Higgs (say MH=120 GeV) at the LHC...
SM Higgs with ~120 GeV:gg H, H b bbar highest BRBut signal swamped by gg jet jetBest bet with CMS: H , where in 30 fb-1 S/√B 4.4

The physics interest of CEP
Selection rules result in the central systembeing (to good approx) JPC = 0++
I.e. a particle produced with proton tagshas known quantum numbers
Excellent mass resolution (~GeV) from the protons, independent of the decay productsof the central system
CP violation in the Higgs sector manifestsitself as azimuthal asymmetry of the protons
Proton tagging may be the discovery channelin certain regions in the MSSM
“A glue-glue collider where the beam energy of the gluons is known and at which central 0++ states are produced.”

In CEP background reduced dramatically because:• of excellent mass resolution• of JZ selection rule: to accuracy (mb/Et)2 only JPC = 0++ states produced
Models can be tested at Tevatron run II (CEP of c,b, dijets)
b jets : MH = 120 GeV = 2 fb (uncertainty factor ~ 2.5)

The physics interest of CEP
MSSM: intense coupling regime
Intense-coupling regime of the MSSM: Mh~MA ~ MH ~ O(100GeV): their coupling to, WW*, ZZ* strongly suppressed discovery very challenging at the LHC
Cross section of two scalar (0+) Higgs bosons enhanced compared to SM Higgs
Production of pseudo-scalar (O-) Higgs suppressed because of JZ selection rule
Superior missing mass resolution from tagged protons allows to separate h, H
Spin-partity of Higgs can be determined from the azimuthal angles between the two tagged protons (recall JZ rule only approximate)
CEP as discovery channel

“3-way mixing” scenario of CP-violating MSSM: the 3 neutral Higgs bosons are nearly degenerate, mix strongly and have masses close to 120 GeV
Superior mass resolution from taggedproton allows disentangling theHiggs bosons by measuring their production line shape
Explicit CP-violation in Higgs sector manifests itself as asymmetry in the azimuthal distribution of tagged protons (interference of P- and P+ amplitudes) (Khoze et al., hep-ph/0401078)

Detectors at 420m - challenging: 420m is in the cold region of the LHC 420m is too late for the CMS/ATLAS L1 trigger, i.e. need to trigger with central apparatus and/or RPs closer to the IP
FP420TOTEM or corresp. ATLAS detectors
Detectors at 420m •complement acceptance of 220m detectors•needed to extend acceptance down to low values, i.e. low MHiggs
Detectors at ~220m•needed in addition to optimize acceptance (tails of distr.)•can be TOTEM RP detectors and/or, after upgrade, RP detectors of ATLAS luminosity system

The FP420 project
At 420 m after ATLAS/CMS IP diffractivelyscattered protons emerge between the two beam pipes, which are at 1.9K
Need “near-beam” movable detectors, integrated with cryostat

The FP420 project (II)
R&D project with ATLAS and CMS membersOnce/if feasibility established could be built at ATLAS and/or CMSInstallation: not before the first long LHC break, ie no interference with LHC startup
Funding for R&D program secured
Test beams in summer 2006 at Fermilab and CERN (mechanics, detectors)
Take decisions based on R&D work by the end of 2006 Aim for NIM paper in spring 2007 Construction could start by the end of 2007
Ingredients: LHC cryostat redesignDevelopment of detectors Development of appropriate detector insertion mechanism
Most likely scenario: Cryogenic bypass with 15m cold-warm transition, warm beam pipes, detectors at room tempForerunner for detector technology: edgeless 3D SiliconInsertion mechanism under disc.: Roman pots, movable beam-pipe, microstations

After the glamour - now the bread-and-butter forward and diffractive physics
2 gluon exchange with vacuum quantum numbers “Pomeron”
X
Double Pomeron exchange:
X
Single diffraction:
o) If X = anything – then dominated by soft physics; contributes to pile-up, i.e.soft events that overlay signal events at LHC (3.5 @ 10 33 cm-2s-1, 35 @ 10 34 cm-2s-1)
Inclusive Single Diffraction (SD) 15 mb, Double Pomeron Exchange (DPE) 1 mb
1 mb = 100 events/s @ 10 29 cm-2 s-1
• X is measured in the central CMS apparatus • Scattered protons may be visible in Roman Pot detectors along beam line
• Note large rapidity gap(s) between the scattered proton(s) and X
o) If X includes jets, W’s, Z’s, Higgs (!): hard processes, calculable in QCD. Give info on proton structure, QCD at high parton densities etc (see eg hep-ph/0511047 for a recent review)
Monika Grothe, Forward Physics at the LHC, Dortmund March 2006 13
•Diffractive PDFs: probability to find a parton of given x in the proton under condition that proton stays intact – sensitive to low-x partons in proton, complementary to standard PDFs

• Generalised Parton Distributions (GPD) quantify correlations between parton momenta in the proton; t-dependence sensitive to parton distribution in transverse plane
• When x’=x, GPDs are proportional to the square of the usual PDFs

Summary
CMS+FP420: Unique advantages of hunting the Higgs with central exclusive production:
excellent mass resolution determine quantum numbers of produced state from azimuthal distribution of observed protons SM: light Higgs observable in WW and b bbar modes with S/B ~1 MSSM: proton-tagging friendly in certain regions S/B~20 and CEP would even be discovery channel at the LHC;
CEP “may offer unique possibilities for exploring Higgs physics in ways thatwould be difficult or even impossible in inclusive Higgs production”, J. Ellis
Unique access to a host of interesting QCD processes (p structure, low-x...)
Rich program of and p physics
CMS+TOTEM: Interesting diffractive and forward physics program at more moderate luminosities

Last words...
“QCD at a hadron collider is always a ghetto, and there the worst neighborhood is diffraction.” - W.Smith
Now the Pomeron is even socializing with the Higgs crowd.We are on the way to respectability !
FWD proton taggers add to the discovery potential of the LHC, by making it possible to capitalize on the unique advantages of central exclusive production.

The physics case for FP420 Photon-Photon interactions
• Tag two protons interactions (K. Piotrzkowski, PRD 63 071502)
• 2- production of W pairs: studies of quartic gauge couplings WW = 110 fb with M > 300GeV ~ 1000 evts in lept. channels (30 fb-1)
Sensitivity to anomalous quartic couplings significantly better than LEP2 limits (no other way at LHC to have such sensitivity) • Tag a single proton p interactions Eg W boson production at high transverse momentum top pair production via photon-gluon fusion

The difficulty of triggering on a light Higgs
< 100 Hz < 100 kHz 40 MHz collision
High-Level Trigger HLTLevel-1 trigger
Calo Muon no tracking!
The difficulty of triggering on a light Higgs, e.g at 120 GeV:L1 jet trigger signature: 2 jets in CMS Cal, each with ET < 60 GeV
Measured L1 jet ET on average only ~60% of true jet ET
L1 trigger applies jet ET calibration and cuts on calibrated valueThus: 40 GeV (calibrated) ~ 20 to 25 GeV measuredCannot go much lower because of noise Use rate/efficiency @ L1 jet ET cutoff of 40 GeV as benchmark
L1 2-jet rate for central jets (||<2.5) @ L1 jet ET cutoff of 40 GeV for Lumi 2 x 1033 cm-2 s-1: ~50 kHz , while considered acceptable: O(1 kHz))
Need additional conditions in trigger: Forward detectors !
The CMS trigger
Monika Grothe, Forward Physics at the LHC, Dortmund March 2006 32
Triggering on a light Higgs:
Central detector jet trigger
HT condition = isolation condition for jets:2 jets in central Cal (||<2.5) with ∑(ET 2 jets)/HT > thresholdHT = scalar sum of ET of all jets in the event with ET(jet)>threshold
--> Provides factor ~2 rate reduction

Trigger tower
4x4 trigger towers = region Search for jets with a sliding 3x3 regions window Jet = 3x3 region with local energy max in middle Reconstructed L1 jet ET on average ~ 60% of real jet ET, thus need for jet ET calibration Jet = 144 trigger towers, with typical jet dimensions: x = 1 x 1
Monika Grothe, Forward Physics at the LHC, Dortmund March 2006 33
Triggering on a light Higgs:
Single-sided 220 m condition Very good reduction of rate in absence of pile-up However, reduction decreases substantially in the presence of pile-up which contains ~30% diffractive events
Achievable total reduction: 10 x 2 (HT cond) x 2 (topological cond) = 40
single-sided 220m conditionwithout and withcut on
Can win additional factor ~2 in reduction when requiring that the 2 jets are in the same hemisphereas the RP detectors that see the proton

Triggering on a light Higgs:
220m and 420m conditions
For H (120 GeV, CEP) b bbar, adding L1 conditions on the RPs at 220m is likely to provide a rate reduction sufficient to meet the CMS L1 bandwidth limits at luminosities up to 2x 1033 cm-1 s-1
To go even further up in luminosity need additional handle to stay within bandwidth limits
... So what about triggering with the 420 m RPs ?At the current CMS L1 latency of 3.2 s they are too far away from IP for inclusion in L1Note: This is a hardware limit - cannot be changed without replacingtrigger pipelines of CMS tracker and preshower detectors with deeper onesShould this however happen (under discussion for SLHC: L1 latency 6.4 s,determined by ECAL pipeline depth) then ....
Monika Grothe, Forward Physics at the LHC, Dortmund March 2006 35
Triggering on a light Higgs:
Asymmetric 220/420m condition
Require hits on one side in 220m RPs and on one side in 420m RPs•In effect means on opposite sides: events where values of 2 protons are very different•Can be used either in L1 after increase in L1 latency, or on HLT
For H (120 GeV, CEP) b bbar, adding L1 conditions on the RPs at 220m and 420m would provide a rate reduction sufficient to meet the CMS L1 bandwidth limits at luminosities up to 1034 cm-1 s-1
See www.cern.ch/grothe/heralhc/heralhc.psAll results are preliminary

Triggering on a light Higgs:
Summary
Goal: Define trigger table for a dedicated diffractive trigger stream with target output rates of 1 kHz out of 100 kHz total on L1 and 1 Hz out of 100 Hz total on HLT
Triggering on CEP of a light Higgs with a rap gap trigger is not an option in the presence of pile-up
Can trigger with the central detector alone by using the muon triggerEfficiencies with already foreseen CMS L1 thresholds: 10% for H(120GeV) b bbar, 20% for H(140GeV) WW*
Can also use the L1 jet trigger when combining it with RP conditionRequires defining a new CMS trigger streamEfficiencies around 10%
Monika Grothe, Forward Physics at the LHC, Dortmund March 2006 37
Status of the FP420 project
Project goal is to establish the feasibility of
• Modifying the cryostat at 420m – produce design that satisfies the machine and allows insertion of detectors with appropriate mechanics
• Operating edgeless detectors (eg 3D Si pixel detectors)
• Being able to trigger and retain sufficient signal acceptance
All of the above, with no interference with LHC, ATLAS, CMS, TOTEMEstimated time for this: early 2007
Once/if feasibility established:
• ATLAS and CMS members of FP420 will go back to their collaborations, propose the addition – then, if accepted, collaboration(s) will submit TDR
• Installation: not before the first long LHC break – ie no interference with machine startup
Monika Grothe, Forward Physics at the LHC, Dortmund March 2006 38
