I emphasize in this contribution how prompt photons can be used to probe nuclear parton densities as well as medium-modified fragmentation functions in heavy ion collisions. Various predictions in p-A and A-A collisions at LHC energies are…
We consider the exclusive diffractive dissociation of a proton into three jets with large transverse momenta in the double-logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD. This process is sensitive to the proton unintegrated gluon…

We present results of a toy model study of performance of the Time-of-Flight detectors integrated into forward proton detectors. The goal of the ToF device is to suppress effects of additional soft processes (so called pile-up) accompanying…

Proton-proton elastic scattering at high energy is a process with simple kinematics but surprisingly complex dynamics. Measurements of these processes at particle colliders require dedicated detectors and unusual measurement conditions. In…

The Standard Model of particle physics, though remarkably successful, leaves open several major questions that continue to motivate searches for new phenomena. Multiboson interactions involving the Higgs boson are of special interest as…
The determination of charged particle trajectories (tracking) in collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the most important aspects for event reconstruction at hadron colliders. This is especially true in the high…

We discuss photon-photon fusion mechanisms of dilepton production in proton-proton collisions with rapidity gap in the main detector and one forward proton in the forward proton detectors. This is relevant for the LHC measurements by…
At the LHC, diffractive physics will be explored by the dedicated experiment TOTEM whose Technical Design Report has been approved in Summer 2004. The experimental programme will be carried out partly in TOTEM standalone mode for purely…
