Spin and diffractive physics with A Fixed-Target ExpeRiment at the LHC (AFTER@ LHC)

We report on the spin and diffractive physics at a future multi-purpose f xed-target
experiment with proton and lead LHC beams extracted by a bent crystal. The LHC multi-TeV
beams allow for the most energetic f xed-target experiments ever performed, opening new
domains of particle and nuclear physics and complementing that of collider physics, in
particular that of RHIC and the EIC projects. The luminosity achievable with AFTER using
typical targets would surpass that of RHIC by more than 3 orders of magnitude. The f xed …
