Higgs?
junk?
It is essential to understand hadronic interactions at LHC!
the structure of the underlying event
behaviour of σtot, σel and σdiff with energy...
99,9999% of event!! pp interactions at LHC are
small AA systems?
...or else, no discovery!

OVERVIEW What is a hadron/nucleus? What are
the relevant degrees of freedom? How does a hadron interact with
another hadron? What about nuclei? What is the difference of these
interactions going from low to high energies?

WHAT IS A HADRON? strongly interacting
composite subatomic particle consists of quarks
baryons: 3 quarks, fermion mesons: quark – anti-quark
pair, boson excited states - resonances at high enough temperatures
they dissolve!

HYDRODYNAMICAL PICTURE

THERMALIZATION
usually: particles start with an arbitrary velocity distribution
”equilibrate” over time, maximization of entropy take the continuum limit – loosing the concept
of ”particles”

FEYNMANS (NAIVE) PARTON MODEL
• in a frame where the hadron is moving infinitely fast, it consists of infinitely many partons
• the partons carry a fraction of the total momentum of the hadron each
• the partons are free!

HOW CAN THIS BE?
uncertainty principle! the constituent quarks can
interact via gluon exchange fluctuate into a quark-antiquark pair
when boosting the proton, the timescales related to these fluctuations are Lorentz dilated interactions of quarks now take place over much
larger timescales..

DISTRIBUTION OF QUARKS AND GLUONS
the probatility of finding a parton (quark, gluon, heavy quark...) with momentum fraction x of the total proton
non-perturbative quantity but dependence on
”resolution” given by QCD

collisions can predict νp, pp

COMPLICATED PROBLEM
in principle an infinite series need to find the most important terms
single-Pomeron diagram describes existing data quite OK! problems with the theory at high energies,
eg. LHC! need multi-Pomeron exchanges

the partons take a fraction ε of the initial energy

BUT IS THIS PICTURE VALID AT HIGH ENERGIES?

MULTIPLE LADDER STRUCTURE
at high energies, multiple ladders can start to evolve simultaneously
gives rise to novel physical phenomena

37
NON-PLANAR GRAPHS
planar diagram vanishes at high energies ladders require a long time to develop critical energy E0=mNμRA
the projectile goes into a fluctuation long before the collision takes place ladders develop at the same time

COHERENT INTERACTION16.05.2008
the projectile becomes large compared to the target
interacts simultaneously with the whole system effectively less interaction - shadowing dramatic change of space-time picture

39
CHANGE OF SPACE-TIME PICTURE16.05.2008
the diagrams corresponding to ”classical” rescatterings are suppressed at high energies!
Gribov trick: Glauber is OK after all! Almost... have to take into account diffractive
intermediate states!
