The Totem Experiment at the Lhc
In order to fulfil its physics programme the TOTEM experiment1 has to cope with the challenge of triggering and recording events in the very forward region with a good acceptance for particles produced at very small angles with respect to the beam. The evaluation of the total cross section with an error down to 1÷2% will in particular require the simultaneous measurement of the elastic scatteri...
متن کاملSignatures of black holes at the LHC
Signatures of black hole events at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider are discussed. Event simulations are carried out with the Fortran Monte Carlo generator CATFISH. Inelasticity effects, exact field emissivities, color and charge conservation, corrections to semiclassical black hole evaporation, gravitational energy loss at formation and possibility of a black hole remnant are included in the analy...
متن کاملBlack Hole Remnants at the LHC
Within the scenario of large extra dimensions, the Planck scale is lowered to values soon accessible. Among the predicted effects, the production of TeV mass black holes at the LHC is one of the most exciting possibilities. Though the final phases of the black hole’s evaporation are still unknown, the formation of a black hole remnant is a theoretically well motivated expectation. We analyze th...
متن کاملTOTEM: The experiment to measure the total proton–proton cross section at LHC
TOTEM is an experiment dedicated to the measurement of the proton–proton total cross section (σ TOT ) at LHC, i.e. the probability that two protons interact at the center of mass energy of 14 TeV. In addition to that, it will also study the proton–proton elastic scattering and diffractive dissociation processes. TOTEM foresees specific measurements and experimental techniques which are very dif...
متن کاملUnparticle-Enhanced Black Holes at the LHC
Based on the idea that tensor unparticles can enhance the gravitational interactions between standard model particles, potential black hole formation in high energy collisions is examined. Modifications to the horizon radius rH are derived, and the corresponding geometric crosssections of such objects are calculated. It is shown that rH increases dramatically to the electroweak scale for masses...
