The goal of this report is to give a comprehensive overview of the rich fieldof forward physics, with a special attention to the topics that can be studied atthe LHC. The report starts presenting a selection of the Monte Carlo simula-tion tools currently available, chapter 2, then enters the rich phenomenologyof QCD at low, chapter 3, and high, chapter 4, momentum transfer, whilethe unique scattering conditions of central exclusive production are analyzedin chapter 5. The last two experimental topics, Cosmic Ray and Heavy Ionphysics are presented in the chapter 6 and 7 respectively. Chapter 8 is ded-icated to the BFKL dynamics, multiparton interactions, and saturation. Thereport ends with an overview of the forward detectors at LHC. Each chapteris correlated with a comprehensive bibliography, attempting to provide to theinterested reader with a wide opportunity for further studies.

Abstract
The goal of this report is to give a comprehensive overview of the rich fieldof forward physics, with a special attention to the topics that can be studied atthe LHC. The report starts presenting a selection of the Monte Carlo simula-tion tools currently available, chapter 2, then enters the rich phenomenologyof QCD at low, chapter 3, and high, chapter 4, momentum transfer, whilethe unique scattering conditions of central exclusive production are analyzedin chapter 5. The last two experimental topics, Cosmic Ray and Heavy Ionphysics are presented in the chapter 6 and 7 respectively. Chapter 8 is ded-icated to the BFKL dynamics, multiparton interactions, and saturation. Thereport ends with an overview of the forward detectors at LHC.
