Abstract

The ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER), is an LHC experiment that aims to: (1) detect and study TeV-energy neutrinos, the most energetic neutrinos ever detected from a humanmade source and (2) search for new light and very weakly interacting particles. The FASER detector is located 480 m downstream of the ATLAS p-p interaction point, along the beam collision axis. FASER was designed, constructed, installed, and commissioned during 2019–2022 and has been taking physics data since the start of LHC Run 3 in July 2022. Recently, FASER reported the first measurement of ve and vμ interaction cross sections at the LHC with its sub-detector FASERv , FASER’s emulsion detector, first results on Axion-Like Particles at FASER and dark photons limits. These results will be reported in this article.
