ALADDIN, An Lhc Apparatus for Direct Dipole moments INvestigation, is an innovative fixed-target experiment proposed for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) aiming for uncharted studies of charm baryon magnetic and electric dipole moments. The new experiment relies on a novel storage-ring layout capable of deflecting protons from the LHC beam halo towards a solid target paired to a bent crystal where forward-boosted charm baryons are produced and channeled inducing large electromagnetic fields and spin precession. A proof-of-principle test at the LHC, TWOCRYST, is currently under construction to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed experiment in 2025.
The workshop will take place at the ADEIT Foundation headquarters, in the city center (click here for google map). It will bring together accelerator and detector physicists and engineers to discuss the progress and next milestones of the TWOCRYST and ALADDIN projects, covering machine and detector aspects, reconstruction and simulation tools, and the physics program. This workshop is the 4th after Milano (Italy) in 2019, Gargnano del Garda (Italy) in 2022, and Paris (France) in 2023, and will be the first of the ALADDIN proton-collaboration.
Zoom connection will be available for those who cannot attend in person (highly unrecomended). All participants, included those attending remotely, have to register following the link on the left Registration: Indico for all. Participants attending the workshop in person also have to follow the Registration: In person (fee) and proceed to the payment of the fee.
