Description
The LHC offers a unique environment to study neutrinos in the intermediate energy range between those produced in fixed-target accelerator experiments and high-energy astrophysical sources. The FASER experiment takes advantage of the intense, highly collimated flux of light hadrons produced at Interaction Point 1 (IP1) to probe high-energy collider neutrinos. Using the electronic detector alone, FASER has measured the muon neutrino cross section and flux in this energy regime with unprecedented precision. With a dataset corresponding to approximately 200 fb⁻¹, further studies using only the electronic detector are underway, promising improved constraints on neutrino properties in this previously unexplored energy range.
