LHC Physics Potential {\em vs.} Energy

ORAL

Abstract

Parton luminosities are convenient for estimating how the physics potential of Large Hadron Collider experiments depends on the energy of the proton beams. I present parton luminosities and ratios of parton luminosities for $gg$, $u\bar{d}$, and $qq$ interactions over the energy range relevant to the Large Hadron Collider, along with example analyses for specific processes.

*Fermilab is operated by the Fermi Research Alliance under contract no.\ DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S.\ Department of Energy.
