Description

The recent observation of collider neutrinos and BSM searches for ALPs by the FASER collaboration highlights the potential the forward direction at the LHC has for neutrino physics and BSM studies. After briefly reviewing some of the FASER collaboration's recent results, I will present some of my own work on the phenomenological studies of the electromagnetic properties of neutrinos, namely magnetic moment, milli-charge, and charge radius. But in these studies the dominant background comes from muons, and significant effort goes into suppressing them. I will also describe efforts to use these “background” muons to study muon-philic particles. In a simple model with a scalar coupling to muons, we show how FASER and FASER2 detectors could potentially probe the parameter space that can solve the g-2 anomaly.
