    A new High-Granularity pre-shower detector for FASER

    A new High-Granularity pre-shower detector for FASER The ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) is searching for new light and weakly interacting particles decaying into charged final states at the LHC [1][2]. While the first physics data taking has just started an upgrade is already foreseen to enhance the sensitivity also to Long-Lived Particles (LLP) decaying into

    FASER Detector Installation

    FASER Detector Installation During March the FASER detector was successfully installed into the LHC complex. FASER, a new small LHC experiment, designed to search for light, weakly interacting new particles in the LHC collisions was proposed in 2017, and after review by the LHCC, approved by CERN in March 2019. Since then, the FASER team

    FASERν: looking for high-energy collider neutrinos

    FASERν: looking for high-energy collider neutrinos In December 2019 a proposed upgrade of the FASER detector designed to study neutrinos at the LHC was approved by CERN. The new detector called FASERν will be placed in front of the main FASER detector, 480-m in front of the ATLAS collision point, and exactly aligned with the

    FASER joins the exploration for new physics

    FASER joins the exploration for new physics On March 5th the CERN Research Board approved the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER), for installation at the LHC during Long Shutdown 2. FASER is an experiment designed to broaden the search for new physics at the LHC, by looking for light, weakly- interacting new particles that could be

    FASER experiment to look for long-lived particles

    FASER experiment to look for long-lived particles At its last meeting CERN’s Research Board approved a new experiment that will look for light and weakly interacting long-lived particles at the LHC. The ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) will search for particles that might be produced parallel to the LHC’s beam line and may travel hundreds of
