Studying FIPs with FASER – recent news
Studying FIPs with FASER – recent news Feebly Interacting Particles (FIPs) exist within both the Standard Model (SM) and in theories that extend beyond it. The FASER experiment [1] is the first of two experiments approved for data taking in Run 3 aiming to study these elusive particles. Located 480 meters from the ATLAS interaction

Probing Anomalies: CMS experiment investigates possible hints of new physics
Probing Anomalies: CMS experiment investigates possible hints of new physics For a few years, the work of the LHC community has been split between the exploitation of the LHC Run2 and first Run3 data and the preparation for the High Luminosity (HL) phase. At the HL-LHC, the effort of searching for new physics will be
