Learn why HPS at 220 meters with TOTEM is crucial for project success. The Hamburg Beam pipe's delay and lack of community support highlight the necessity of TOTEM's expertise. LHCC and INFN also endorse the CMS-TOTEM collaboration. Without TOTEM, the HPS community may face collapse.

Why HPS at 220 meter with TOTEM • Why we believe HPS @ 220m with TOTEM is the only possibility: • The Hamburg Beam pipe will delay the project past 2015. There is no-one working on the Hamburg Beam within the HPS community. At this moment, the construction and installation relies solely on AFP and Austin. • TOTEM brings a very competent community. No-one in CMS has their knowledge. The HPS community is too small and it will collapse without TOTEM. • LHCC supports the CMS-TOTEM combination • INFN supports monetarily CMS & TOTEM. • For this reasons we are not interested in solution 1) without TOTEMs’ support 2) that includes the Hamburg Beam pipe.
