Proton-Nucleus Collisions at the LHC: Scientific Opportunities and Requirements / Salgado, C.A. (Santiago de Compostela U.) ; Alvarez-Muniz, J. (Santiago de Compostela U.) ; Arleo, F. (Annecy, LAPTH) ; Armesto, N. (Santiago de Compostela U.) ; Botje, M. (NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Cacciari, M. (Paris U., VI-VII) ; Campbell, J. (Fermilab) ; Carli, C. (CERN) ; Cole, B. (Columbia U.) ; D'Enterria, D. (CERN ; ICREA, Barcelona) et al.
Proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions have long been recognized as a crucial component of the physics programme with nuclear beams at high energies, in particular for their reference role to interpret and understand nucleus-nucleus data as well as for their potential to elucidate the partonic structure of matter at low parton fractional momenta (small-x). Here, we summarize the main motivations that make a proton-nucleus run a decisive ingredient for a successful heavy-ion programme at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and we present unique scientific opportunities arising from these collisions.

Cold Leak Tests of LHC Beam Screens / Collomb-Patton, C (CERN) ; Cruikshank, P (CERN) ; Jenninger, B (CERN) ; Kos, N (CERN)
In order to guide the high energy proton beams inside its two 27 km long vacuum rings, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, makes use of superconducting technology to create the required magnetic fields. More than 4000 beam screens, cooled at 7 20 K, are inserted inside the 1.9 K beam vacuum tubes to intercept beam induced heat loads and to provide dynamic vacuum stability. [...]

Beam losses from ultra-peripheral nuclear collisions between $^{208}$Pb$^{82+}$ ions in the Large Hadron Collider and their alleviation / Bruce, R. (CERN) ; Gilardoni, S. (CERN) ; Jowett, J.M. (CERN) ; Bocian, D. (Fermilab)
Electromagnetic interactions between colliding heavy ions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will give rise to localized beam losses that may quench superconducting magnets, apart from contributing significantly to the luminosity decay. To quantify their impact on the operation of the collider, we have used a three-step simulation approach, which consists of optical tracking, a Monte-Carlo shower simulation and a thermal network model of the heat flow inside a magnet.
