FP420
FP420 is an R&D collaboration for developing very forward proton detectors at the LHC, for the CMS experiment in particular. It involves not only building state-of-the-art detectors but also studies of novel and unique ways of detecting new physics, in particular by tagging high-energy photon interactions.

Photon induced interactions at the LHC
High-energy photon-photon and photon-proton interactions at the LHC offer interesting possibilities for the study of the electroweak sector up to TeV scale and the search for processes beyond the Standard Model. After in-depth exploratory studies, first investigations of anomalous photon interactions in CMS are being performed.
External collaborators: CMS forward physics analysis group, R. Schicker (Heidelberg) and A. Szczurek (Krakow).
