Far Forward Physics

Tuesday 1 Nov 2022, 11:30 → 13:00 US/Eastern

CERN

Milind Vaman Diwan (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))

Discussion regarding the physics and detector design for the Forward Physics Facility at the LHC. 

Attendees: 

Battell, Diwan.  Reno,  Chauhan, Asner,  Denton,  Szofron, Davoudiasl,  Linden, Abraham,  Feng, Bian,  Wu,  

Jeong,  Zhou,  Paolone.  Trojanowski,  Yichen Li, Boyd 

 

 

MVD went through some technical and programmatic progress in the last couple of months.  

 

-- Hooman: what is the 413b threshold ? It is nominally $50M, but it is negotiated between a national lab and the DOE.  

 

Sebastian Trojanowski discussed tridents.  

 

Questions 

 

 ---  Can we add magnetic fields to measure  the lower energy muon better.  

       short answer: yes, either to the liquid argon or to the muon tagger. But we need to now think about FPF space.  

 

 ---  Is angular resolution of ~ 10 mrad possible

       short answer: yes, but it might depend on the orientation of the event.  The separation of the two muons might be better in the drift plane.  

 

 --- Is this physics going to determine the level of muon veto efficiency needed ?  Possibly.  

 

 --- Can we explore the  Mu+E channels more ?
