Scientific paper
An attempt is made to summarize the discussion at the Workshop, except for the panel discussion on the ability of the LHC detectors to accommodate forward reactions. The Workshop focused on two main topics. The first topic was forward physics at the LHC. Predictions were made for forward reactions, including elastic scattering and soft diffractive processes, intopic was forward physics at the LHC. Predictions were made for forward reactions, including elastic scattering and soft diffractive processes, in terms of (multi) Pomeron exchange, using knowledge gained at lower energies. The survival probability of rapidity gaps accompanying hard subprocesses was studied. The nature of the Pomeron, before and after QCD, was exposed, and some aspects of small x physics at the LHC were considered. The second topic of the Workshop concerned the accuracy of the luminosity measuring processes at the LHC. Attention concentrated on three methods. The classic approach based on the optical theorem, secondly, the observation of the pure QED process of lepton-pair (l^+l^-) production by photon-photon fusion and, finally, the measurement of inclusive W and Z production.
