Workshop on "High energy photon collisions at the LHC"

22 Apr 2008, 08:00 → 25 Apr 2008, 22:50 Europe/Brussels

CERN

David d'Enterria (CERN), Krzysztof Piotrzkowski (Louvain-la-Neuve), Michael Klasen (Grenoble)

The workshop aims at discussing the physics of high-energy photon-induced collisions. In particular, perspectives will be studied for searches of physics Beyond Standard Model at the LHC in photon-photon and photon-proton interactions (both with proton and ion beams). In addition, reports of studies of two-photon processes at the ILC/PLC will be given, as well as experimental and theoretical reviews of photoproduction at HERA, and results from Tevatron on photon-anti-proton and photon-photon interactions, as well as from RHIC on electromagnetic processes.
