Letter Of Intent: May 2004Technical report: September 2005Technical Design Report: February 2006
•The physics goals are worthwhile and the proposed experiment appears suited to achieve them
•A few key issues require immediate consideration, and documentation in the update of the TP:
•establish official contact with the relevant structures in the AT/AB departments,
as well as in ATLAS etc…
•appoint a technical coordinator (possibly located at CERN?)
•consider and document safety issues•On the other hand: the TP is not sufficiently detailed and fails to provide a solid and
compelling evidence that the above expectations are justified
LHCC October 2005 comments:
TDR was released to answer to these questions

• TDR was presented in the March 2006 LHCC Open Session• LHCC discussed TDR in the Closed sessions of March and May 2006• ‘The LHCC reccomends the LHCf TDR for approval’ (Cern/LHCC 2006-
025/G-116, 7 June 2006)
To minimize the impact of LHCf on LHC commissioning the following conditions have been defined in agreement with the LHC commissioning working group:
• LHCf is installed during scheduled stops before the pilot physics run. • LHCf detectors will not move. • No particular requirements on beam conditions and no beam steering for LHCf will be requested. • It is possible to remove LHCf within a day and to schedule this such that no extra downtime for the machine is required. • It should be possible for the machine group to perform tests with crossing angles up to ±200 μrad and orbit offsets up to 1 mm at the IP without constraint from LHCf.
The final details of the installation and operation schedule will be reviewed at a later stage, once the overall schedule and planning of the commissioning run will have been finalized.
Despite the technical limitations of the proposed detectors, as outlined in Section 3 the LHCC finds the technologies adopted for the various components of the LHCf experiment adequate to achieve the physics goals stated in the Technical Proposal and congratulates the LHCf Collaboration for the effort, which went into the preparations for this document. The LHCC recommends the LHCf TDR for approval.

• The dominant contribution to the energy flux is in the very forward region ( 0)
• In this forward region the highest energy available measurements of 0 cross section were done by UA7 (E=1014 eV, y = 5÷7)
Development of atmospheric showers
Simulation of an atmospheric shower due to a 1019 eV proton.
The direct measurement of the production cross section as function of pT is essential to correctly
estimate the energy of the primary cosmic rays (LHC: 1017 eV)

LHCf physics measurements
1. Single photon spectrum2. 0 fully reconstructed (1 in each tower)
0 reconstruction is an important tool for energy calibration (0 mass constraint)
Basic concept: • minimum 2 towers (0 reconstruction)• Smallest tower on the beam (multiple hits)• Dimension of the tower Moliere radius• Maximum acceptance (given the LHC constraints)
Simulation is used to understand the physics performances

LHCf 44 X0 thicknessBut the thickness is not uniform (diamond shaped towers, no material outside towers)
LUMI Monitor see different thickness of material in different geometrical regions • different response as function of the impact point position (calibration is required)• reduction of the number of neutral particles hitting BRAN• possible dependence of the detector response as function of the beam position?
Result: If beam displacement is < a few mm, difference is < 10% LHCf itself can provide the center of neutral flux LHCf can give some info on Luminosity measurement

LHCf possible running scenario
• Phase-I– Parasite running during the early stage of LHC commis
sioning in 2007 (450+450 TeV) and in 2008 (7+7 TeV)– Remove the detector when luminosity reaches 1030cm-
2s-1 level for radiation reason and reinstall the 3 Cu bars (no activation problems)
• Phase-II– Re-install the detector at the next opportunity of low lu
minosity run after removal of Cu bars (activated to 10-1 mSv/hr, manipulator?)
• Phase-III– Future extension for p-A, A-A run with upgraded detecto
rs.
