LHC Physics Potential vs. Energy
arXiv:0908.3660
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, ratios of parton luminosities, and contours of fixed parton luminosity 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.
