Electromagnetic Shower Reconstruction and Identification in FASER's Emulsion Detector for LHC Forward Neutrino Measurements
FASER Collaboration, Roshan Mammen Abraham, Xiaocong Ai +132
We present methods for electromagnetic shower reconstruction and identification in the FASERnu emulsion detector using 100 GeV and 200 GeV electron test-beam data from the CERN SPS…
Optimization of muon suppression using sweeper magnets for the Forward Physics Facility at the HL-LHC
Akitaka Ariga, Tomoko Ariga, Jeremy Atkinson +13
The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) at the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will enable high-statistics measurements of TeV-scale neutrinos, but the intense flux of forward muons poses…
Momentum Measurement of Charged Particles in FASER's Emulsion Detector at the LHC
FASER Collaboration, Roshan Mammen Abraham, Xiaocong Ai +132
We present a momentum measurement method based on multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) in the FASER emulsion detector. The measurement of charged-particle momenta is essential for…
Letter of Intent: The Forward Physics Facility
Luis A. Anchordoqui, John K. Anders, Akitaka Ariga +111
The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a proposed extension of the HL-LHC program designed to exploit the unique scientific opportunities offered by the intense flux of high energy…
Latest neutrino results from the FASER experiment and their implications for forward hadron production
FASER Collaboration, Roshan Mammen Abraham, Xiaocong Ai +117
The muon puzzle -- an excess of muons relative to simulation predictions in ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray air showers -- has been reported by many experiments. This suggests that fo…
Science and Project Planning for the Forward Physics Facility in Preparation for the 2024-2026 European Particle Physics Strategy Update
Jyotismita Adhikary, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Akitaka Ariga +23
The recent direct detection of neutrinos at the LHC has opened a new window on high-energy particle physics and highlighted the potential of forward physics for groundbreaking disc…
