Photon interactions in ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions in the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Two analyses involving photon interactions in ultra-peripheral lead-lead collisions in the ATLAS detector at the LHC are described, namely the study of dijet production in photo-nuclear ultra-peripheral collisions and a measurement of light-by-light scattering. The first, is an important way to probe and constrain nuclear parton distribution functions, which are known to exhibit suppression at ...
متن کاملEvidence for light-by-light scattering in heavy-ion collisions with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Light-by-light scattering (γ γ → γ γ ) is a quantum-mechanical process that is forbidden in the classical theory of electrodynamics. This reaction is accessible at the Large Hadron Collider thanks to the large electromagnetic field strengths generated by ultra-relativistic colliding lead ions. Using 480μb−1 of lead–lead collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Physics with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
The heavy-ion program at the LHC will be pursued by three experiments including ATLAS, a multipurpose detector to study p+p collisions. A report on the potential of the ATLAS detector to uncover new physics in Pb+Pb collisions at energies thirty times larger than energy available at RHIC is presented. Key aspects of the heavy-ion program of the ATLAS experiment, with the emphasis on extending m...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Physics Prospects with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
The next great energy frontier in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions is quickly approaching with the completion of the Large Hadron Collider and the ATLAS experiment is poised to make important contributions in understanding QCD matter at extreme conditions. While designed for high-pT measurements in high-energy p+ p collisions, the detector is well suited to study many aspects of heavy ion coll...
متن کاملThe Heavy Ion Physics Program with ATLAS at the LHC
The first Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at √ sNN = 5.52 TeV are imminent. Heavy ion collisions at the LHC provide an extended energy lever arm to the existing measurements made at RHIC and SPS, especially in hard (large-Q) processes. In this contribution an overview of the ATLAS detector is given and the current physics focus of Heavy Ion Working Group is discussed.
