FASER

FASERν: looking for high-energy collider neutrinos

by Jamie Boyd (CERN)

Ongoing work for FASERν and successful tests promise timely installation of the new detector before the start of LHC Run 3. 

FASER joins the exploration for new physics

by Jamie Boyd (CERN)

On March 5th the CERN Research Board approved the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) designed to broaden the search for new physics at the LHC.

The ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) will search for particles that might be produced parallel to the LHC’s beam line and may travel hundreds of metres without interacting before transforming into known and detectable particles, such as electrons and positrons.
