Description

FASER is located 480 meters from the ATLAS interaction point, along the collision axis. The tracking system of the FASER detector consists of four identical tracker stations made from silicon microstrip detectors. It's designed to be able to measure trajectory of charged particles to search for long-lived particles such as dark photons or axion-like particles and study collider neutrino which is the highest energetic human-made. This talk covers the basic performance of the tracker detector over three years of LHC operational experience, focusing on its efficiency, long-term stability and results from track alignment study.
