The Precision Proton Spectrometer at the LHC

Jan Kašpar

CERN and Institute of Physics CAS

Abstract: The seminar will present the Precision Proton Spectrometer project which extends the CMS experiment at the LHC with very-forward proton taggers. This allows, besides others, for new beyond-standard-model searches via precision measurements (like anomalous gauge couplings) or missing mass signatures. In the talk I will give an overview of the detector apparatus and its performance since the project start in 2016. I will also discuss the calibration techniques and present the first physics results.

Seminar takes place on Tuesday, January 8th 2019 at 2:00 PM
in the IEAP meeting room, Praha 2 ‐ Albertov, Horská 3a/22.
