1. Why LHC ?2. What we can measure 3. Importance of measurement 4. Detector 5. Expected performance6. Bonus7. Conclusions
2004/02/26: ICRR
LHC 2007. 7 TeV x 7 TeV 10⇒ 17 eV Lab.Energy
No knowledge of particle production spectrum at high energies ( esp. at large Feynmann x ). Exception: UA7 exp. at 200TeV
General Structure of LHCBeam collision point Point 140m away
Beam center finding by 40k events
Bonus: LPM effect
1. X distribution of photons at x>0.05.
2. Inelasticity information from neutron spectrum
3. ⇒Calibration of M.C code
4. Bonus. LPM effect.
5. If everything goes well, only ~a day measurement with the smallest detector in the largest accelerator gives us valuable information.
