LHC Working Group on Forward Physics and Diffraction

The LHC Working Group on Forward Physics and Diffraction is a forum for:

 * interaction between theorists and experimentalists from the LHC experiments about forward physics
 * definition of a physics programme for diffraction either using the rapidity gap method or proton tagging
 * definition of a common strategy among the different LHC experiments (special runs ...)
 * discussion of the different forward detectors (roman pots, movable beam pipes, timing and position detectors)
 * application to cosmic ray physics
