Abstract

The LHC FP420 R&D project is assessing the feasibility of installing forward proton detectors at 420m from the ATLAS and/or CMS interaction points. Such detectors aim at measuring diffracted protons, which have lost less than 2% of their longitudinal momentum. The success of this measurement requires a very good understanding of the charged and neutral particle environment in the detector region in order to avoid the signal being swamped as well as for detector survivability. This background receives contributions from beam-gas interactions, halo particles surviving from the betatron and momentum cleaning systems and secondary showers produced by particles from the 14 TeV collision region striking the beampipe upstream of the FP420 detectors. In this paper, such background sources are reviewed, and the expected background rates calculated.
