29. Recent physics results from TOTEM

Kenneth Osterberg (Helsinki Institute of Physics (FI))

The talk will contain a brief description of the most recent physics results from the TOTEM experiment at the LHC, especially the ones concerning the evidence of the t-channel exchange of a colourless C-odd three-gluon compound state, the so-called Odderon, in elastic scattering. Also a short description of the future plans of the experiment will be included.

28. Results and prospects with the CMS-TOTEM Precision Proton Spectrometer

Laurent Forthomme (Helsinki Institute of Physics (FI))

With more than 100 fb-1 collected along LHC run 2, the CMS-TOTEM Precision Proton Spectrometer allows to probe the fundamental structure of the Standard model in various ways through the detection of forward scattered protons in combination with the central system. In this talk, the spectrometer and its detection principles will be presented, along with the first result obtained so far. In...

30. Holographic Complex CFTs

The loss of criticality in the form of weak first-order transitions or the end of the conformal window in gauge theories can be described as the merging of two fixed points that move to complex values of the couplings. When the complex fixed points are close to the real axis, the system typically exhibits walking behavior with Miransky (or BKT) scaling. I will present a realization of these...
