Searches for QCD instantons with forward proton tagging
Abstract We study the possibility to observe heavy ( $$M_{\textrm{inst}}> 60$$ M inst > 60 GeV) QCD instantons at the LHC in events with one or two tagged leading protons including fast simulation of detector and pile-up effects. We show that the expected instanton signal in a single-tagged c...
