New Aspects Of High-energy Proton-proton Collisions (ettore Majorana International Science Series)

ELOISATRON (Eurasiatic Long Intersecting Storage Accelerator) is the name of a research and development project in the field of high energy physics, approved and funded by the Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare INFN in Italy. The main objective of the project is to conduct research and development studies to promote the construction of a (100 + 100) TeV proton-proton collider in Europe. The present volume contains the proceedings of the 4th INFN ELOISATRON project workshop, held on the topic: New Aspects of High-Energy Proton-Proton Collisions. The workshop took place at the Centro Internazionale di Cultura Scien tifica "Ettore Majorana" (CCSEM), Erice-Trapani, Sicily, Italy, in the period May 31-June 7, 1987. This was the first workshop in this series which concentrated on physics issues in proton-proton collisions with 1-100 TeV beams; the earlier three INFN ELOISATRON workshops, held at Erice during 1986 and 1987, had mostly dealt with technical issues related to the accelerator and detector aspects of high en ergy hadron colliders. The present workshop was supported by the Italian Ministry of Education, the Italian Ministry of Scientific and Technological Research, the Sicilian Regional Government and the Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture. With the successful operation of the CERN Superconducting antiproton-proton Synchrotron (SppS), resulting in the discoveries of the vector bosons W and Z and providing evidence for new aspects of flavour mixings, the interest in very high energy proton beams as probes of fundamental phenomena in nature has mounted worldwide Front Matter....Pages i-xii The ELOISATRON Project Eurasiatic Long Intersecting Storage Accelerator....Pages 1-61 Criteria for Steps to Higher Energies....Pages 63-74 The LEP Project at CERN....Pages 75-89 Physics at Future Colliders....Pages 91-103 Higgs Production in High Energy Hadron Collisions....Pages 105-116 Supersymmetric Particle Searchers at Future Hadron Colliders....Pages 117-141 Signatures of Compositeness in Very High Energy pp Collisions....Pages 143-169 Leptoquarks at 100 TeV: Proton-Antiproton Collider....Pages 171-176 Physics of Superheavy Onia....Pages 177-191 New Trigger Systems for High Luminosity Collisions....Pages 193-205 Particle Detectors Based on the New Multichannel Photomultipliers....Pages 207-211 Beauty Physics at the Ultrahigh Energies of the ELOISATRON....Pages 213-222 Large Transverse Momentum Leptons in (Very) High Proton-(Anti)Proton Collisions....Pages 223-248 Prompt Photons in Very High Energy Collisions....Pages 249-268 Drell-Yan Processes in High Energy Hadron Collisions....Pages 269-280 Proton-Proton and Antiproton-Proton Scattering at the Highest Energies....Pages 281-308 Role of Multiple Parton Processes at Colliders....Pages 309-323 Jet Physics: Theoretical Issues in Simulating Very High Energy Collisions....Pages 325-342 Soft Process in Very High Energy Proton-Proton Collisions....Pages 343-376 The Pattern of Lepton and Quark Masses....Pages 377-390 Non-Accelerator Physics at √s ~ 40 TeV....Pages 391-400 Cosmic Accelerators: A New Era of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics and Particle Physics....Pages 401-419 Back Matter....Pages 421-434
