Abstract:
By splitting the multi-TeV LHC proton and lead beams with a bent crystal or by using an internal gas target, the LHC complex allows one to perform the most energetic fixed-target experiments ever and to study with high precision pp, pA, and PbA collisions at the energy range of √s_{NN}=72 - 115 GeV. A broad program, covering the large-x frontier for particle and astroparticle physics, spin, and heavy-ion physics will greatly complement collider experiments. We will present feasibility studies for measurements with LHCb and ALICE in a fixed-target mode and review the current status of the AFTER@LHC program.
