“…The AFTER or ALICE-FT project provides for the placement of a solid or gaseous target in the beam halo when using all detectors of the ALICE facility. In this case, it is possible to measure the production of particles, in particular antiprotons, at large parameters X [13] even at X > 1, which will make it possible to check the existence of the scaling, considered in this work, at the energies of ion beams at the LHC. For a fixed target with a beam energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon and Z = 3 from Equation (4) we obtain X = 1.75 for a production angle of 28 degrees.…”

The existence of several TeV superheavy particles (SHPs) is predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model. Particles with a mass exceeding the energy in the center of mass in the collision of protons with protons can be produced in subthreshold heavy ion collisions at the LHC. The purpose of the performed research was to estimate the rate of a rare process of SHPs production. It was shown that the data on the subthreshold production of antiprotons can be explained by the phenomenological parton model. The obtained parton distribution function was used to determine the number of SHPs produced in subthreshold heavy ion collisions at the LHC. In one month of collision of lead with lead, the yield of 16 TeVparticles is about 70 per year. To study the kinematically forbidden phenomena in proton-proton interactions in collisions of heavy nuclei at the LHC, an experiment on the production of antiprotons is proposed in the ALICE fixed target project.

“…In addition to collider data, quarkonium production in the LHC FT mode, pioneered by LHCb [413], implemented for higher luminosity in Run 3 for LHCb and investigated for further upgrades in LHCb and ALICE, opens up new possibilities to study QCD phenomena at large x 2 with unprecedented detail and precision [5,6,598,609,610].…”

We review the prospects for quarkonium-production studies in proton and nuclear collisions accessible during the upcoming phases of the CERN Large Hadron Collider operation after 2021, including the ultimate high-luminosity phase, with increased luminosities compared to LHC Runs 1 and 2. We address the current experimental and theoretical open issues in the field and the perspectives for future studies in quarkoniumrelated physics through the exploitation of the huge data samples to be collected in proton-proton, with integrated luminosities reaching up to L = 3 ab −1 , in proton-nucleus and in nucleus-nucleus collisions, both in the collider and fixed-target modes. Such investigations include, among others, those of: (i) the quarkonia produced in association with other hard particles; (ii) the χ Q and η Q down to small transverse momenta; (iii) the constraints brought in by quarkonia on gluon PDFs, nuclear PDFs, TMDs, GPDs and GTMDs, as well as on the low-x parton dynamics; (iv) the gluon Sivers effect in polarised-nucleon collisions; (v) the properties of the quark-gluon plasma produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions and of collective partonic effects in general; and (vi) double and triple parton scatterings.
