Forward Physics at the LHC using tagged protons

Prof. Christophe Royon, The University of Kansas (US)


In this talk, we will first describe some QCD studies that can be performed with tagged protons at the LHC, going from a better understanding of diffractive phenomena to the search for new QCD effects such as Balitski Fadin Kuraev Lipatov resummation effects. We will then mention beyond standard model studies that can be performed using photon exchange processes in order to study quartic anomalous couplings and search for extra-dimensions with unprecedented precision.
