Abstract

In this study, we calculate the sensitivity reach on the vector leptoquark (LQ) U1U_1 at the experiments proposed in Forward Physics Facility (FPF), including FASERν\nu, FASERν2\nu2, FLArE (10 tons), and FLArE (100 tons) using the neutrino-nucleon scattering (νNνN\nu N \rightarrow \nu N' and νNlN\nu N \rightarrow l N'). We cover a wide mass range of 10310^{-3} GeV MLQ104\leq M_{LQ}\leq 10^4 GeV. The new result shows that the FLArE (100 tons) offers the best sensitivity to the LQ model. The sensitivity curves for all the experiments follow a similar pattern with weakened sensitivities with the increment of the LQ mass. We combine the sensitivities obtained from the neutral- and charged-current interactions of the neutrinos.
