FORWARD PHYSICS AND LUMINOSITY DETERMINATION AT LHC
Helsinki, Finland 31 October - 4 November 2000
edited by Katri Huitu (Helsinki Institute of Physics, Finland), Valery Khoze (University of Durham, UK), Risto Orava (University of Helsinki, Finland) & Stefan Tapprogge (Helsinki Institute of Physics, Switzerland)
Recently there has been much interest in studying events with tagged forward protons at the existing and forthcoming hadronic colliders, the Tevatron and the LHC. These studies not only allow one to monitor the luminosity of the colliding protons with high accuracy but also provide new ways of investigating the subtle issues of QCD dynamics and searches for the manifestations of new physics.
This book reviews the state of the art of forward physics measurements and the theoretical development. It will catalyze many new approaches within the framework of the extensive physics programme of the LHC. This in turn will stimulate closer contact between the LHC experiments as well as between the experimentalists and the theorists to maximize the potenntial of LHC physics.
