LHC as a photon-photon collider
Rafał Staszewski
Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences, Kraków, Poland
Abstract:Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that can collide protons at an unprecedented centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Its physics goals include studies of the Standard Model (our present theory describing elementary particles and their interactions) as well as searches for effects beyond it (new physics). The seminar will be devoted to the physics of high-energy photon-photon interactions and to experimental methods that allow studies of such processes at the LHC. I will present measurements that have already been performed and discuss prospects for future.
Seminar takes place on Tuesday, February 13th 2018 at 2:00 PM
in the IEAP meeting room, Praha 2 ‐ Albertov, Horská 3a/22.
