Searches for QCD instantons with forward proton tagging (2023)
Journal Article
Tasevsky, M., Khoze, V., Milne, D., & Ryskin, M. (2023). Searches for QCD instantons with forward proton tagging. The European Physical Journal C, 83, Article 35. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-11178-7

We study the possibility to observe heavy (Minst>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-tagg... Read More about Searches for QCD instantons with forward proton tagging.

Central instanton production (2022)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Khoze, V., Milne, D., & Ryskin, M. (2022). Central instanton production. Physical Review D, 105(3), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.105.036008

We study the central production of QCD instantons at hadron colliders in events with two large rapidity gaps. These gaps in rapidity are formed by either Pomeron or photon exchanges or a combination of the two. The kT-factorization formalism is used... Read More about Central instanton production.

Hunting for QCD instantons at the LHC in events with large rapidity gaps (2021)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Khoze, V., Milne, D., & Ryskin, M. (2021). Hunting for QCD instantons at the LHC in events with large rapidity gaps. Physical Review D, 104(5), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.104.054013

We outline a strategy of how to search for QCD instantons of invariant mass 20–60 GeVin diffractive events in low-luminosity runs at the LHC. We show that, by imposing appropriate selection criteria on the final states, one can select the kinematic r...
