Description
After defining experimentally diffractive events, we will discuss the potential measurements assessing the Pomeron structure in terms of quark and gluons at the LHC, as well as additional QCD measurements sensitive to BFKL resummation effects, or to exclusive processes. The second part of the seminar will be dedicated to beyond standard model and the possible search for quartic anomalous couplings between photons, W and Z bosons. We will finish the seminar by describing briefly the detectors used in the CT-PPS and AFP projects in CMS-TOTEM and ATLAS, and especially the fast timing detectors and electronics.
