Public Abstract

Probing Small-x QCD Dynamics With Hadronic Collisions

Christophe Royon, University of Kansas Center of Research (Principal Investigator)

In special kinematic regimes, inside hadrons the density of quarks and gluons grows. In these instances new dynamics, new screening effects, and new physics is expected. We propose to look for these new effects in proton and lead collisions at the LHC. To do this we utilize the CMS detector and investigate both very forward particle production, and collisions involving particles separated by a large angular domain devoid of any energy. In addition, we will be an irreplaceable part of the installation and calibration of the very forward CMS detector called CASTOR for future lead-lead runs in CMS for flow studies.
