Physics with tagged forward protons at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
Here we describe diffractive measurements at RHIC in proton+proton collisions with a special optics run of β ∼ 21 m at STAR, at the centerof-mass energy √ s = 200 GeV during the the RHIC 2009 run. We present published results of single spin asymmetry as well as preliminary results on double spin asymmetries and central exclusive production. PACS number(s): 13.85.Dz and 13.88.+e

Central Production with Tagged Forward Protons and the Star Detector at Rhic
We describe a setup which will allow extend the physics reach of the STAR detector at RHIC to include the measurement of very forward protons. Tagging on very forward protons, detected by the Roman Pots at RHIC energies, selects processes, in which the proton stays intact and the exchange is dominated by one with the quantum numbers of the vacuum, thus enhancing the probability of measuring rea...
متن کاملNew Physics with Tagged Forward Protons at the LHC 1
The addition of forward proton detectors to LHC experiments will significantly enlarge the potential for studying New Physics. A topical example is Higgs production by the central exclusive diffractive process, pp → p+H + p. We discuss the exclusive production of Higgs bosons in both the SM and MSSM. Special attention is paid to the backgrounds to the H → bb̄ signal. 1 Presented by V.A. Khoze at...
متن کاملPhysics Beyond SM at RHIC with Polarized Protons
The capabilities of RHIC with polarized protons to test the Lorentz structure of electroweak interactions and also the properties of MSSM Higgs, should it be discovered, are discussed.
متن کاملPhysics with tagged forward protons at the LHC
We emphasize the importance of tagging the outgoing forward protons to sharpen the predictions for New Physics at the LHC (such as the diffractive production of a light Higgs boson). The rescattering effects lead to a rich distinctive structure of the cross section as a function of the transverse momenta of the protons. We show that a study of the correlations between the proton transverse mome...
متن کاملStar Spin Related Future Detector Upgrades
The STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has a rich spin physics program aimed at exploring the spin structure of the proton with polarized proton beams. In addition to the currently accessible channels, heavy flavor, charged vector boson production and forward mesons are integral parts of the long-term program. Such measurements require upgrades of the STAR tracking sy...
