FASER is a new experiment designed to search for new light weakly-interacting long-lived particles (LLPs) and study high-energy neutrino interactions in the very forward region of the LHC collisions at CERN. The experimental apparatus is…

The FASER experiment is located in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) complex at CERN, 480 m downstream of the ATLAS collision point and aligned with the beam-collision-axis. The experiment was designed to search for light, weakly-interacting…
