Diffraction in hadron-hadron collisions (experiment)
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...

ALICE is one of the four large experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). As a complement to the Heavy-Ion physics program, ALICE started during Run 1 of LHC an extensive program dedicated to the study of proton-proton diffractive processes. In order to optimize its trigger...

Diffraction in hadron-hadron collisions (experiment)
I would present the upgrades foreseen for the CMS-Totem Precision Proton Spectrometer experiment, including -among others- upgrades for the tracking and timing detectors, and the time-reference system.

Diffraction in hadron-hadron collisions (experiment)
The LHC Collider Ring is proposed to be turned into an ultimate automatic search engine for new physics in three consecutive phases: (1) Searches for heavy particles produced in Central Exclusive Process (CEP): pp → p + X + p based on the existing Beam Loss Monitoring (BLM) system of the LHC; (2) Extensions to the current BLM system to facilitate precise registration of the selected CEP proton...

Diffraction in hadron-hadron collisions (experiment)
We discuss a number of recent ideas for dedicated experiments at the LHC for the search of new physics, which
are complementary to the large general purpose experiments ATLAS and CMS. These dedicated experiments aim
to search for either monopoles, particles with millicharges or long lived particles with decay lengths of 100s of meters.
