Exclusive Higgs bosons at LHC Main motivation for FP420 Higgs kinematics fully reconstructed with forward detectors! Access to Higgs mass and quantum numbers. SM Higgs signal statistically limited, larger for MSSM case: Brief history: Białas & Peschanski ’96 Albrow & Rostovtsev ’00 Khoze et al. ’02

HPS: Motivation Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski4 Light Higgs boson case is compelling more than ever – exclusive production provides unique information: Higgs quantum numbers (spin-parity filter) Direct & precise H mass measurement (event-by-event); M H resolution of  2 GeV  direct limits on Higgs width Possibility of detecting H  bb mode Detection of SM Higgs boson requires (very) large luminosity  obs   fb  and challenging timing detectors to keep backgrounds low (S/B  1:2); in case of BSM physics HPS could provide discovery channels for Higgs bosons In addition, HPS offers access to ‘guaranteed’ and unique studies like electroweak physics in two-photon interactions, or new QCD phenomena in exclusive production, for example.

Forward proton 420 m Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski9 Installation of Si detectors in cryogenic region of LHC, i.e. cryostat redesign needed Strict space limitations rule out Roman Pot technology, use movable beampipe instead Radiation hardness required of Si is comparable to those at SLHC, use novel 3-D Silicon technology To control pile-up background use very fast timing detectors (  ~ 10ps) Acceptance: (At nominal LHC β* = 0.5 m) < ξ < 0.02 Two detector stations per arm (4 in total): each station contains tracking and timing detectors

Picosecond ToF detectors Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski13 At nominal luminosity event rate so FP420 that accidental overlays (= interesting event in central detector + two protons from single diffraction) become major background! Use very fast ToF detectors to reduce it by matching z-vertex from central tracking with z-by-timing from proton arrival time difference: LHC vertex spread is ~50 mm to reduce significantly backgrounds one needs ~10 ps time resolutions (  2 mm z-vertex resolution)! Developed very fast timing detectors: Cerenkov radiators + fastest MCP-PMTs Very challenging environment  pushing MCP-PMT performances to the limits:  High event rates, up to several MHz  Running MCP-PMTs close to maximal anode currents  Large annual total collected anode charges (~10 C/cm2!) GasToF: Gas (C 4 F 10 ) Cerenkov detector with very fast light pulse (< 1 ps!)  resolution limited by TTS of MCP-PMTs and electronics Quartic: Quartz based Cerenkov with fine segmentation – multi-hit capability Going beyond requires new ideas: sub-picosecond streak cameras??

GasToF: Cosmic-ray tests Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski14 Resolution < 20 ps for 1 p.e.!

Proton fluence at FP420 Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski15 HECTOR Very high fluence due to protons in single diffraction: Distribution of FP420 in lateral plane:  Small area detectors needed (~several cm 2 )  At nominal luminosity large event rates expected ~10 MHz !!  Total fluence of protons    cm 2

Reconstruction: Chromacity grids Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski16 HECTOR Basic principle: Three initial variables(position+angle+energy) and two measured (position+angle) assume nominal vertex position (x=0) (Horizontal and vertical planes independent) In each arm (and plane) position and HPS give energy loss and scattering IP 10  m per point and ~10 m lever arm results in about energy resolution!

Forward proton    m Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski18 HECTOR: JINST 2, P09005 (2007) To detect forward protons for CEP of light Higgs (M h ~ 120 GeV) one needs FP420 detectors; Note: Acceptance is mostly driven by energy loss NOT scattering angle (p T ) HPS240 essential for triggering + efficiency for HPS240+HPS420 ~ 2 x HPS420 only

Tagging at 420m and 240(220)m is complementary – together  energy loss range is covered ! This leads to significantly higher tagged cross sections Both 220 and 240 m locations are ‘warm&free’ – just bare beam-pipes At IP5, locations at 220 m are occupied by TOTEM -> go 240m (as ALFA in ATLAS) - it is still possible to send triggers to CMS! One does not need to modify the LHC beamline -> can be done before HPS420 and be treated as a proof-of-principle project (= use FP420 detector concepts) + interesting physics with HPS240 only !!

HPS: Staging Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski25 HPS requires original and challenging detector solutions – novel mechanical concept (= moving pipe 1 st used at HERA) + pico-second resolution ToF detectors HPS420 detectors are essential for Higgs detection but require significant LHC beam-line modification (2 New Connection Cryostats for Point 5)  long shutdowns and significant costs HPS240 detectors are important since can provide L1 signals and installation require minimal intervention to LHC (NB: HPS detectors are ‘like’ a couple of new collimators, among 100…) Stage 0: Proof-of-principle experiment In close collaboration with LHC groups develop moving pipes ready for m; test ToF detectors + associated electronics

HPS: Staging Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski26 Stage 0: Proof-of-principle experiment Demonstrate in-situ performance of timing detectors (resolutions, resistance to backgrounds, etc) ; learn to operate near-beam detectors; characterize backgrounds etc. Stage 1: HPS240 for CMS Add simple trackers based on CMS barrel pixels + L1 trigger detectors; after integration of all detectors into CMS DAQ start unique studies – search for exclusive production of SUSY pairs, stringent tests of SM gauge boson sector, for example. Stage 2: Final HPS configuration Hunt for exclusive Higgs can start using ultimate detectors – new trackers and timing detectors (Note HPS stage 2 as ‘test-bench’ for CMS phase 2 DAQ/tracker + HPS420 in L1 is possible in phase 2!)

 Stage 0/1: As final stage of moving pipe R&D install (in 2011?) first station with fast timing detectors + position hodoscopes  Stage 1: After HPS approval, install two HPS240 stations (in ?) with tracking based on modified CMS pixel sensors  Note: Good resolution in energy loss expected already for rather poor detectors – eg. For 100 um spatial resolution expect about 2% energy resolution for a 300 GeV loss!  Essential exercise for the final HPS design – handling of backgrounds, operation aspects + first (tagged) physics  First bremsstrahlung measurement in pp (HPS240 +ZDC) – large cross-section – can use for fast calibration of BOTH ZDC and HPS240 (?)  NOTE: Stage 1 HPS is low cost project – can be done ‘quickly’ !

Summary/Outlook Trento, 6/1/2010K. Piotrzkowski30 CMS HPS is (rather) small but very challenging project at the LHC The FP420 R&D report published, is basis of the HPS proposal The R&D (first) phase ends with a complete new connection cryostat design and a pre-prototyped, tested concepts for high precision near-beam detectors at LHC Physics case for forward proton tagging spans the central exclusive Production (exclusive di-jets and Higgs boson!) and  and photon-proton physics; If running early enough (stage 1!) give access to diffractive physics, gap survival /underlying event studies….. For relatively low incremental cost, forward proton detectors add significant physics potential to CMS with no effect on the operation of the LHC. You Are Welcome to Join
