Abstract The Large Hadron–Electron Collider (LHeC) is designed to move the field of deep
inelastic scattering (DIS) to the energy and intensity frontier of particle physics. Exploiting …

The equivalent photon approximation is used to calculate fiducial cross sections for dimuon
production in ultraperipheral proton–proton and lead–lead collisions. Analytic formulas …

A good understanding of the luminosity performance in a collider, as well as reliable tools to
analyse, predict, and optimise the performance, is of great importance for the successful …

A variety of processes can cause unavoidable beam losses during normal and abnormal
beam operation. Because of the high stored energy of about 700 MJ and the small …

Monte Carlo shower simulations are essential for understanding and predicting the
consequences of beam losses in high-energy proton and ion colliders. Shower simulations …

Planar channeling in bent crystals has been observed in LHC with multi-TeV proton beam in
2015. Two crystals, mounted on novel high-accuracy goniometers (one in the horizontal and …

This report describes the running scenario for operation with Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions in
the HL-LHC. The expected beam parameters are described, starting from the beams …

Protons and heavy-ion beams at unprecedented energies are brought into collisions in the
CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for high-energy experiments. The LHC multistage …

During its Run 2 (2015–2018), the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operated at almost twice
higher energy, and provided Pb-Pb collisions with an order of magnitude higher luminosity …

Magnetic monopoles may be produced by the dual Schwinger effect in strong magnetic
fields. Today, the strongest known magnetic fields in the Universe are produced fleetingly in …
