Descrizione
The CMS-TOTEM Precision Proton Spectrometer (CT-PPS) has the goal of studying central exclusive production processes in proton-proton collisions at LHC. Such processes are characterized by the presence of two protons scattered at small angles and detected inside the LHC beam pipe with CT-PPS, along with one or more particles produced at small rapidity values and detected by the central CMS detector. This gives access to a variety of interesting subjects, including the study of quartic gauge couplings and searches for new resonances produced in photon-photon or gluon-gluon fusion. A description of the experimental set-up will be presented, along with the current status of the project.
