A fixed-target programme at the LHC: Physics case and projected performances for heavy-ion, hadron, spin and astroparticle studies

Here we review the context, the motivations and the expected performances of a comprehensive and ambitious fixed-target programme using the multi-TeV proton and ion LHC beams. We also provide a detailed account of the different possible technical implementations ranging from an internal wire target to a full dedicated beam line extracted with a bent crystal. The possibilities offered by the use of the ALICE and LHCb detectors in the fixed-target mode are also reviewed.

Gluonic excitations in the hadronic spectrum

QCD at low energy features a gluonic field that is strongly coupled to itself and to quarks. I will present a summary of what we know about the role that excitations of the gluonic field play in determining the spectrum of meson resonances. Recent studies using lattice techniques have suggested a phenomenology of gluonic excitations within QCD that leads to hybrid mesons with both exotic and non-exotic quantum numbers. I will discuss these calculations and describe their relationship to current experimental knowledge and to forthcoming experiments at Jefferson Lab and elsewhere.

Twist-3 predictions for single spin asymmetry for light-hadron productions at RHIC

We present several predictions for the single spin asymmetry for the {pi}, K, and {eta}-meson productions at RHIC kinematics using the twist-3 quark-gluon correlation functions determined from our analysis of RHIC data. After discussing the P{sub T}-dependence of A{sub N}, we give predictions for A{sub N} for pions and kaons at {radical}(S) = 500 GeV and A{sub N} for the {eta}-meson at {radical}(S) = 200 GeV.

Hadron Structure and the Drell-Yan Process

Dimuon production has been studied in a series of fixed-target experiments at Fermilab during the last two decades. Highlights from these experiments are presented. Some future prospects for studying the parton distributions in the nucleons and nuclei using Drell-Yan production are also discussed.
