Electromagnetic Shower Reconstruction and Identification in FASER's Emulsion Detector for LHC Forward Neutrino Measurements
FASER Collaboration, Roshan Mammen Abraham, Xiaocong Ai +137
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…
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…
Gamma-Ray Burst Polarimetry with the POLAR and POLAR-2 missions
Nicolas De Angelis, Philipp Azzarello, Franck Cadoux +15
Gamma-Ray Bursts are among the most powerful and violent events in the Universe. Despite over half a century of observations of these transient sources, many open questions remain…
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…
Design and Performance of a Universal SiPM Readout System for X- and Gamma-Ray Missions
Merlin Kole, Nicolas De Angelis, Nicolas Produit +15
The advent of both multi-messenger and time-domain astrophysics over the last decade has seen a large interest in the development of small-scale, cheap, and robust gamma-ray detect…
First Measurement of the Muon Neutrino Interaction Cross Section and Flux as a Function of Energy at the LHC with FASER
FASER Collaboration, Roshan Mammen Abraham, Xiaocong Ai +107
This letter presents the measurement of the energy-dependent neutrino-nucleon cross section in tungsten and the differential flux of muon neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. The analysis…
