Description
FASERnu is a 1-tonne emulsion/tungsten detector that is designed to detect and study collider neutrinos for the first time. The detector is located at the LHC in the far-forward region, 480 m from the ATLAS interaction point, and is detecting neutrinos at the highest human-made energies ever, with implications for neutrino properties, QCD, and BSM searches. The detector started taking data at the beginning of LHC’s Run 3, and the emulsion has been successfully replaced twice. This talk will present FASERnu’s physics prospects, current status, and first collision data.
