It is very likely that hadronic scattering will enter a new regime at the LHC, as the black-disk limit is reached. This will lead to a severe change in the t dependence of the real part and of the slope of the elastic scattering amplitude,…
Recent high precision measurements of deep inelastic diffractive scattering at HERA are presented in an increased region of phase space. Current models for diffractive photon dissociation are compared to the data.
Many techniques exist to reconstruct New Physics masses from LHC data, though these tend to either require high luminosity O(100) fb^-1, or an accurate measurement of missing transverse energy (MET) which may not be available in the early…
We use a Monte Carlo implementation of recently developped models of exclusive diffractive $W$, top, Higgs and stop productions to assess the sensitivity of the LHC experiments.
Precision measurement of small separations between two atoms or molecules has been of interest since the early days of science. Here, we discuss a scheme which yields spatial information on a system of two identical atoms placed in a…
