Looking in all directions for long-lived particles at the LHC
Looking in all directions for long-lived particles at the LHC In 1984, Alvaro de Rujula pointed out that the proton-proton collisions at the LHC would produce large fluxes of very high energy neutrinos in the forward direction [1]. In 2023, almost 40 years later, the FASER and SND experiments ushered in the era of collider

SND@LHC gears up for data taking
SND@LHC gears up for data taking The last fifteen months have been a full-fledged race against the clock for the SND@LHC Collaboration. The experiment was approved by the Research Board in March 2021 with the goal of taking data in Run 3 of the LHC. The Collaboration has had to construct and test the sub-detectors

LLP11: The eleventh workshop of the Long-Lived Particle Community
LLP11: The eleventh workshop of the Long-Lived Particle Community Amidst the excitement of preparations for the impending Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), as well as prominent developments of key projects around the globe, the eleventh workshop of the Long-Lived Particle (LLP) Community initiative (LLP11) was held virtually from 30 May to 3

Exploring the Lifetime Frontier at the LHC and Beyond
Exploring the Lifetime Frontier at the LHC and Beyond By any reasonable measure, the first ten years of the LHC have been an unmitigated success. But are we exploring everywhere in our data? The overwhelming majority of the searches for particles beyond the Standard Model (BSM) conducted at ATLAS and CMS, for example, assume that

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
