Outline
• Overview of LHCf– Cosmic rays in the atmosphere and hadronic interaction models– Detection of neutral particles at low angle at LHC– Description of detectors
• Data analysis– Published results for single in 7 TeV pp interactions– On-going analysis for at 7 TeV and single at 900 GeV
• Simulation of p-Pb interactions• Upgrade of detectors for new measurements• Summary
22 September 2011 3L.Bonechi, CSN1, Bari
Purpose of the experiment• Experimental measurement:
– Precise measurement of neutral particle (, 0 and n) spectra in the very forward region at LHC
• 7 TeV + 7 TeV in the c.m. frame 1017 eV in the laboratory frame:– We are simulating in the biggest’s world laboratory what happens in nature
when a Very High Energy Cosmic Ray interacts in the atmosphere• Why in the very forward region?
– Because the dominant contribution to the energy flux in the atmospheric shower development is carried on by the very forward produced particles

Type-I event
This has been dealt with so far.It can cover wide opening angle.Thus this type dominates in low energy region.While due to unavoidable gap between each tower, sensitivity in high energy is rather worse.

Now it is possible to analyze this type of events thanks to the improvement of multi-hit reconstruction.Tight opening angle(~high E) can be detected by this type of π0.Mass peak is still wide.

This analysis is in a raw preliminary status for Arm1:– Under development
– Energy reconstruction function is new• special one for low energy region:
– PID threshold• PID criteria is same as 7TeV• Threshold is updated
– Multi-hit cut– Not yet included (future plan)
– Systematic error– Luminosity normalization– All other corrections
For Arm2 we are generating Monte Carlo events (one month needed to complete the generation for all models)

Future measurements: proton – lead ionThe study of proton interactions with nuclei in the forward region is important for cosmic ray physics, because strictlyrelated to the interactions of primary cosmic rays with the atmosphere.Ideally we would like to measure the interaction of protonswith Nitrogen ions (to reproduce real atmospheric showers)or at least with light ions.
Anyway the study of proton – heavy ion interaction in theforward region can be important to study the scalingproperties of cross sections with respect to the pp case ( nuclear modification factors and parton density saturation)Interaction p-Pb @ LHC in 2012 (3.5 TeV protons).We are studying the impact of our measurement.
LPCC @ CERN on 17 October 2011(Hopefully in the near future also proton-light ion run will befeasible, for example at RHIC!!!)

Upgrade of silicon detectors
1. Remove pedestal fluctuation (1nd level upgrade)2. Reduce the saturation effect at E > 1 TeV (2nd level upgrade)
– Very important improvement for higher energy LHC runs– It requires production of completely new silicon modules
3. Improve the energy resolution for the silicon system (2nd level upgrade)– Useful cross check for scintillators
1st level upgrade before proton-lead run2nd level upgrade before pp at 14 TeV run
SOME IMPORTANT POINTS UNDER INVESTIGATION :
22 September 2011 28L.Bonechi, CSN1, Bari
Upgrade: pedestal fluctuation
Silicon modules are the black ones in the picture.
This modification requiresopening the detector ,cutting the power lines and fixing some new simple electric circuit.
1st level upgrade (minor intervention!)To avoid pedestal fluctuation (observed also for low energy photons) we will test soon some simple circuits to be installed on the LV power lines to the front-end. Then we want to decouple the powering of the two half-boards of each front-end.
22 September 2011 29L.Bonechi, CSN1, Bari
Upgrade: saturation effect2nd level upgradeTo reduce the saturation effect for high energy releases in silicon layers there are several possibilities that are under discussion and investigation. Decision are not yet fixed. Main points are:
• No possibility to change the Pace3 chips with higher dynamic range preamplifiers
• We should operate directly on the silicon side1. Reducing the silicon depleted thickness to produce less charge
a. Decreasing the bias voltage (not safe)b. Producing new thin silicon detectors (safer, but we loose the
possobility to detect MIPs)2. Reducing the charge collected by the readout strips
a. Connecting the floating strips to ground (we save the sensitivity to MIPs, but we loose probably in spatial resolution)
We are setting up a LASER system in laboratory for detailed tests

Upgrade: energy resolution
Our main idea:
• Do not increase the number of silicon layers
• Re-arrange the position of the existing 8 silicon layers inside
the calorimeter, to make better use of the 4 silicon sensors
currently located very deep in the calorimeter and not useful
for energy measurement
• Keep anyway few ‘double layers’ to have a good matching
between x and y coordinates

SummaryLHCf has published the single photon spectrum in two different pseudo-rapidity intervals in the very forward region of the LHC for 7 TeV total energy pp interactions. New analysis are under development for the study of neutrons and neutral pions and for the transverse momentum distributions.Plan for the future measurements:1. Proton-lead run at LHC in 2012
Requires correction of pedestal fluctuation (test in lab with laser system) Simulation under development (3.5 TeV proton energy) Presentation of LOI at beginning of 2012
2. Proton-proton interactions at 14 TeV It is the main purpose of this experiment Reduction of saturation effect (test of possible solutions and production of new
silicon modules)
3. Study of a possible proton-light ion run at RHIC Simulations under development Visit at RHIC within end of 2011

R1 = 5mmR2-1 = 35mmR2-2 = 42mm = 20o
For Small Tower > 10.94 For Large Tower 8.81 < < 8.99
For a comparison of the Arm1 and Arm2 reconstructed spectra wedefine in each tower a region of pseudo-rapidity and interval ofazimuth angle that is common both to Arm1 and Arm2.
As first result we present two spectra, one for each acceptance region, obtained by properly weighting the Arm1 and Arm2 spectra
47
Comparison Arm1/Arm2
Multi-hit rejection and PID correction applied.Energy scale systematic (correlated between Arm1 and Arm2) has not been plotted to verify the agreement between the two detectors within the non correlated uncertainties.
Deviation in small tower is still not clear. Anyway it is within systematic errors.

Pile-up eventsWhen the configuration of beams is 1x1 interacting bunches, the probability of N collisions per crossing is
The ratio of the pile up event is
The maximum luminosity per bunch during runs used for the analysis is 2.3x1028cm-2s-1
So the probability of pile up is estimated to be 7.2% with σ of 71.5mbTaking into account the calorimeter acceptance (~0.03) only 0.2% of events have multi-hit due to pile-up. It does not affect our results

Uncertainty on the energy scale
• Two components:- Relatively well known: Detector response, SPS => 3.5%- Unknown: 0 mass => 7.8%, 3.8% for Arm1 and Arm2.
• Please note: • - 3.5% is symmetric around measured energy• - 7.8% (3.8%) are asymmetric, because of the 0 mass shift• - No ‘hand made’ correction is applied up to now for
safety• Total uncertainty is
-9.8% / +1.8% for Arm1 -6.6% / +2.2% for Arm2
Systematic Uncertainty on Spectra is estimated from difference between normal spectra and energy shifted spectra.
64
Uncertainty on the beam center• Error of beam center position is estimated to be 1 mm from comparison between our results and the BPM results
• The systematic errors on spectra were estimated from the difference between spectra with 1 mm shift of acceptance cut area.
