  1. Suggestions by V. Avati and K. Eggert Idea: Crystal placed at 6 s from the LHC beam, deflecting the protons, can improve considerably the proton acceptance of the TOTEM Roman pots Principle lay-out Physics example: Higgs search in central diffraction Can micro channeling improve the TOTEM experiment Crystal Collimation in Hadron Storage Rings, CERN 7-8 March 2005

  2. TOTEM ROMAN POT IN CERN SPS BEAM

  4. (RA LHC MAC 13/3/03) nσ-reach? Detector Distance vs. Beam Detector distance vs. beam is determined by the beam halo. ns = dmin/sx,y(z)  10-15 Expected halo rate: 6kHz (for 43 bunches, Np = 1010, eN = 1mm, ns = 10) Active detector starts at the distance d from the physical edge Closest approach : ns = 10 d = 200mm

  5. Elastic Scattering b* = 1540 m acceptance

  6. p1’ p1 diffractive system X proton:p1’ proton:p2’ P rapidity gap rapidity gap p2 p2’ hmin hmax Example Processes Single Diffraction: X ds/dh p1 proton:p2’ MX2 = xs diffractive system X rapidity gap P Dh =–ln hmin 0 hmax p2’ ln(2pL/pT) p2 Measure leading proton (x) and rapidity gap ( test gap survival). Double Pomeron Exchange: X MX2 = x1 x2 s P Dh2=– ln x2 Dh1=– ln x1 Measure leading protons (x1, x2) and compare with MX, Dh1, Dh2

  9. RP stations RP stations Crystal extraction Crystal extraction 6 x beam profile with crystal extraction

  10. Y [m] protons deflected by the crystal the other protons in RP 10 s beam profile X [m] Detector edge Hit distribution in the RP detector

  11.  = 15rad Bent by the crystal (by 0.5 mrad) rad Angular distribution in the detector

  12. In Totem acceptance (68% of 1) Totem acceptance with cristal extraction (87% of 1) With cristal extraction 2<1 2<1   -acceptance for a Higgs with MH=120 GeV/c2

  13. Conclusions • Crystal extraction is promising to approach the LHC beams closer than with standard RP detectors • Larger acceptance for diffractively produced Higgs • Same method could be used for elastic scattered protons to reach the Coulomb region Needs extensive tests with crystals and Roman Pots in the SPS (see talk of Marco Oriunno)
