Description

The ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) is located at the LHC at CERN and studies long-lived, weakly interacting particles produced in the forward direction of the ATLAS interaction point. The FASER$\nu$ detector, the primary component for neutrino detection, is composed of a high-density structure with a total mass of 1.1 tons of tungsten plates interleaved with emulsion films to allow LLPs and neutrinos to interact inside the detector. It focuses on the measurement of three generations of neutrinos in the TeV energy region. This talk will present results from the current analysis, which detects several electron neutrino and muon neutrino events, and measures the cross sections. These are the first measurements in the unexplored TeV energy region.
