(Warsaw U. of Tech.) et al.
Extraction of the multi-TeV proton and lead LHC beams with a bent crystal or by using an internal gas target allows one to perform the most energetic fixed-target experiment ever. $pp$, pd and $p$A collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 115 GeV and Pb$p$ and PbA collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 72 GeV can be studied with high precision and modern detection techniques over a broad rapidity range.

Perspectives for quarkonium studies at the high-luminosity LHC
/ Chapon, Emilien (Beijing, Inst. High Energy Phys.) ; d'Enterria, David (CERN) ; Ducloue, Bertrand (Edinburgh U. ; U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Echevarria, Miguel G. (Alcala de Henares U.) ; Gossiaux, Pol-Bernard (SUBATECH, Nantes) ; Kartvelishvili, Vato (Lancaster U.) ; Kasemets, Tomas (U. Mainz, PRISMA) ; Lansberg, Jean-Philippe (IJCLab, Orsay) ; McNulty, Ronan (University Coll., Dublin) ; Price, Darren D. (Manchester U.) et al.
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 quarkonium-related physics through the exploitation of the huge data samples to be collected in proton-proton, with integrated luminosities reaching up to 3/ab, in proton-nucleus and in nucleus-nucleus collisions, both in the collider and fixed-target modes.

Physics perspectives with AFTER@LHC (A Fixed Target ExpeRiment at LHC)
/ Massacrier, L. (Orsay, IPN) ; Anselmino, M. (INFN, Turin ; Turin U.) ; Arnaldi, R. (INFN, Turin ; Turin U.) ; Brodsky, S.J. (SLAC) ; Chambert, V. (Orsay, IPN) ; Da Silva, C. (Los Alamos) ; Didelez, J.P. (Orsay, IPN) ; Echevarria, M.G. (INFN, Pavia) ; Ferreiro, E.G. (Santiago de Compostela U.) ; Fleuret, F. (Ecole Polytechnique) et al.
AFTER@LHC is an ambitious fixed-target project in order to address open questions in the domain of proton and neutron spins, Quark Gluon Plasma and high-$x$ physics, at the highest energy ever reached in the fixed-target mode. Indeed, thanks to the highly energetic 7 TeV proton and 2.76 A.TeV lead LHC beams, center-of-mass energies as large as $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 115 GeV in pp/pA and $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 72 GeV in AA can be reached, corresponding to an uncharted energy domain between SPS and RHIC.

Spin Physics with a fixed-target experiment at the LHC
/ Echevarria, M.G. (INFN, Pavia) ; Brodsky, S.J. (SLAC) ; Cavoto, G. (INFN, Rome ; Rome U.) ; Da Silva, C. (Los Alamos) ; Donato, F. (INFN, Turin ; Turin U.) ; Ferreiro, E.G. (Santiago de Compostela U.) ; Hadjidakis, C. (Orsay, IPN) ; Hřivnácová, I. (Orsay, IPN) ; Kikoła, D. (Warsaw U. of Tech.) ; Klein, A. (Los Alamos) et al.
The multi-TeV proton and ion beams of the LHC would allow for the most energetic fixed-target experiment ever. In particular, $pp$, $p$d and $p$A collisions could be performed at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 115~GeV, as well as Pb$p$ and PbA collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 72~GeV, in a parasitic way by making use of the already existing LHCb and ALICE detectors in fixed-target mode.

High luminosity fixed-target experiment at the LHC
/ Hadjidakis, Cynthia (Orsay, IPN) ; Brodsky, S.J. (SLAC) ; Cavoto, G. (INFN, Rome ; Rome U.) ; Da Silva, C. (Los Alamos) ; Donato, F. (Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Echevarria, M.G. (INFN, Pavia) ; Ferreiro, E.G. (Santiago de Compostela U.) ; Hřivnáčová, I. (Orsay, IPN) ; Kikola, D. (Warsaw U. of Tech.) ; Klein, A. (Los Alamos) et al.
By extracting the beam with a bent crystal or by using an internal gas target, the multi-TeV proton and lead LHC beams allow one to perform the most energetic fixed-target experiments ever and to study $pp$, $p$d and $p$A collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=115$ GeV and Pb$p$ and PbA collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=72$ GeV with high precision and modern detection techniques. Such studies would address open questions in the domain of the nucleon and nucleus partonic structure at high-$x$, quark-gluon plasma and, by using longitudinally or transversally polarised targets, spin physics.

Ultra-peripheral-collision studies in the fixed-target mode with the proton and lead LHC beams
/ Yamanaka, Nodoka (Orsay, IPN) ; Hadjidakis, C. (Orsay, IPN) ; Kikoła, D. (Warsaw U. of Tech.) ; Lansberg, J.P. (Orsay, IPN) ; Massacrier, L. (Orsay, IPN) ; Echevarria, M.G.

We address the physics case related to the studies of ultra-peripheral pH, pPb, PbH, and PbPb collisions in the fixed-target mode at the LHC. In particular, we discuss how one can measure the gluon generalized parton distribution $E_g(x,\xi,t)$ in exclusive $J/psi$ photoproduction with a transversely polarized hydrogen target..

Probing the high-x content of the nuclei in the fixed-target mode at the LHC

Using the LHCb and ALICE detectors in the fixed-target mode at the LHC offers unprecedented possibilities to study the quark, gluon and heavy-quark content of the proton and nuclei in the poorly known region of the high-momentum fractions. We review our projections for studies of Drell-Yan, charm, beauty and quarkonium production with both detector set-ups used with various nuclear targets and the LHC proton beams. [...]

We review the context, the motivations and the expected performances of a comprehensive and ambitious fixed-target program using the multi-TeV proton and ion LHC beams.

We discuss the potential of AFTER@LHC to measure single-transverse-spin asymmetries in open-charm and bottomonium production. With a HERMES-like hydrogen polarised target, such measurements over a year can reach precisions close to the per cent level [...]
