  5. How to access Forward/Very Forward Region at LHC? Charged particles Neutral particles Beam pipe Surrounding the beam pipe far away from IP with detectors Simple way, but still miss very very forward particles Approach #1 used by Totem Oscar Adriani Other experiments at LHC Toronto, August 27, 2010

  6. Charged particles Neutral particles Beam pipe How to access Forward/Very Forward Region at LHC? Install detectors (movable!) inside the beam pipe very far away from the IP Challenging but ideal for charged particle Approach #2 used by Totem Oscar Adriani Other experiments at LHC Toronto, August 27, 2010

  7. How to access Forward/Very Forward Region at LHC? Charged particles Neutral particles Beam pipe Detectors can be installed where the single beam pipe splits In 2 separate beam pipes, 140 m away from the IP All neutral particle produced can be measured Approach used by LHCf (and in general by the others Zero Degree Calorimeters) Oscar Adriani Other experiments at LHC Toronto, August 27, 2010

  8. Pseudo rapidity coverage at LHC Pseudorapidity:h = - ln (tanq/2) Particle flow Energy flow All phase space covered thanks to dedicated forward detectors! And most of the energy is concentrated in the forward regions! Oscar Adriani Other experiments at LHC Toronto, August 27, 2010

  15. Alignment is the central problem of Roman Pot measurements: Done at 450 GeV on the 25th of June 2010 LHC collimation system produces sharp beam edges: used to align Roman Pots and to determine the centre of the beam same procedure as collimator setup When both top and bottom pots “feel” the edge: they are at the same number of sigmas from the beam centre as the collimator the beam centre is exactly in the middle between top and bottom pot RP alignment w.r.t. the Beam Centre Collimator cuts a sharp beam edge symmetrically to the centre RP approaches this edge until it scrapes … … producing spike in BLM downstream The second RP approaches Oscar Adriani Other experiments at LHC Toronto, August 27, 2010
