  19. 93. Search for Lepton Flavour Violating Decay at FASER
    Kento Asai (Saitama University)
    28/05/2021, 17:00

    FASER is one of the promising experiments which search for long-lived particles in beyond standard models.
    We study the sensitivity to the charged lepton flavor violating (cLFV) decays of the long-lived particles by FASER experiment.
    We find that FASER can search the cLFV decays of these particles in the parameter region which survives the current severe experimental constraints on cLFV coupling.

  20. 79. Semi-hard reactions at the Forward Physics Facility
    Michael Fucilla (Università della Calabria)
    28/05/2021, 17:00

    Forward emissions represent a unique opportunity to test perturbative QCD in new, and so far unexplored, kinematical regimes. In the semi-hard regime, where $s>>Q^2>>\Lambda_{QCD}$, pure fixed-order predictions need to be supplemented by an all-order resummation which takes into account the effect of large energy-type logarithms. The Balistky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) approach is established...

  21. 53. Hadronic structure at a Forward Physics Facility
    Dr Francesco Giovanni Celiberto (ECT*/FBK Trento & INFN-TIFPA)
    28/05/2021, 17:15

    Inclusive as well as exclusive forward emissions are widely recognized as excellent channels to access the nucleon structure in the high-energy/small-$x$ regime. Here, several phenomenological analyses have been proposed so far, this allowing us to probe kinematic ranges in the intersection corners of different approaches. At large transverse momenta, a high-energy factorization (HEF) formula...

  22. 87. Searching for anomaly-free gauge bosons at forward physics experiments
    Patrick Foldenauer
    28/05/2021, 17:15

    A popular choice for a new mediator between the Standard Model (SM) and a dark sector are kinetically mixed hidden photons. However, beyond a minimal kinetic mixing coupling such a new vector boson can also have gauge interactions with SM particles. In general, these gauge interactions are constrained by anomaly cancellation, fermion mass terms and the CKM and PMNS matrix. In this talk I will...

  23. 82. Crunching dilaton, hidden naturalness
    Ameen Ismail (Cornell University)
    28/05/2021, 17:30

    We introduce a new approach to the Higgs naturalness problem, where the value of the Higgs mass is tied to cosmic stability and the possibility of a large observable Universe. The Higgs mixes with the dilaton of a CFT sector whose true ground state has a large negative vacuum energy. If the Higgs VEV is non-zero and below ~TeV, the CFT also admits a second metastable vacuum, where the...

  24. 92. Probing PDFs via Neutrino Scattering with FASER$\nu$
    Jason Arakawa
    28/05/2021, 17:30

    We study the impact that FASER(\nu) will have on the determination of nuclear and nucleon PDFs using neutrino/anti-neutrino deep inelastic scattering $\nu_{\mu} q \rightarrow \mu^- q^{\prime}$. FASER$\nu$ will be able to probe a broader range of the $x, y,$ and $Q^2$ parameter space with the access to the high energy neutrinos generated from interactions at ATLAS. For the nucleon PDFs focus...

  25. 83. Charming ALPs
    Christiane Scherb (JGU Mainz)
    28/05/2021, 17:45

    Axion-like particles (ALPs) are ubiquitous in models of new physics explaining some of the most pressing puzzles of the Standard Model. However, until relatively recently, little attention has been paid to its interplay with flavour. In this work, we study in detail the phenomenology of ALPs that exclusively interact with up-type quarks at the tree-level, which arise in some well-motivated...

  26. 51. LEvEL: Low-Energy Neutrino Experiment at the LHC
    Kevin Kelly (Fermilab)
    28/05/2021, 17:45

    The Large Hadron Collider Beam Dump, where an enormous number of 7 TeV protons are brought to rest twice a day, is an intense source of neutrinos. In this talk, I will discuss a proposed experimental program, LEvEL, the Low-Energy Neutrino Experiment at the LHC, which can measure several interesting neutrino-interaction cross sections near the LHC Beam Dump. These interaction processes may...

  27. 90. Addressing the cosmic ray muon excess by probing a "fireball" state at the Forward Physics Facility
    Julien Manshanden
    28/05/2021, 18:00

    The muon excess in cosmic ray data can be traced back to uncertainties on the hadronic energy fraction after forward interactions. These uncertainties could be addressed by the Forward Physics Facility (FPF) if neutrino measurements will be able to constrain the charged pion to kaon ratio and the charm production in very forward interactions.
    I will discuss a "fireball" model which increases...

  28. 94. Updated projections for FASER2 at the FPF
    Josh McFayden (University of Sussex)
    28/05/2021, 18:00

    Abstract: First studies of the projected physics reach of FASER2 have been available for some time [arXiv:1811.12522], and possible detector technologies for FASER2 have previously been presented at the FPF kick-off meeting. We will show updated studies of the expected FASER2 reach taking into account recent developments in planning for the FPF, notably the possible layouts of the underground...

  29. 52. Dark Sectors via Proton Bremsstrahlung
    Saeid Foroughi-Abari (University of Victoria)
    28/05/2021, 18:15

    In this talk, I discuss the production of dark vectors and scalars via proton bremsstrahlung, making use of a model that accurately captures the underlying nucleon scattering cross-section in the forward direction due to pomeron exchange.

  30. 89. Update from millliQan
    Matthew Daniel Citron (Univ. of California Santa Barbara (US))
    28/05/2021, 18:15

    We report an update on plans for milliQan in Run 3 (https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.07151). Having secured the necessary funding, we plan to construct two detectors, including a novel slab detector configuration, for the LHC Run 3. The dataset provided by a prototype scintillator-based detector has been used to characterise the performance of these detectors and provide an accurate background...
