Performance overview of SND@LHC and Faser

Since 2022, the LHC physics programme has been expanded into new areas by two experiments studying collider neutrinos and searching for long-lived weakly interacting particles produced in the collisions: SND@LHC and FASER. These experiments, located symmetrically about 500 m away from the ATLAS interaction point, aim to provide measurements of neutrino interactions in previously unexplored energy ranges between \(E_\nu \in [10^2, 10^3]\) GeV, as well as to extend the experimental sensitivity to long-lived dark sector particles into new areas previously inaccessible at the LHC. The SND@LHC and FASER detectors utilise a combination of emulsion cloud chambers for neutrino identification via precise vertexing, and electronic detectors used for tracking, timing and calorimetry. This document presents a short review of the key aspects of detector design and performance of the two experiments.

Abstract

Since 2022, the LHC physics programme has been expanded into new areas by two experiments studying collider neutrinos and searching for long-lived weakly interacting particles produced in the collisions: SND@LHC and FASER. These experiments, located symmetrically about 500 m away from the ATLAS interaction point, aim to provide measurements of neutrino interactions in previously unexplored energy ranges between \(E_\nu \in [10^2, 10^3]\) GeV, as well as to extend the experimental sensitivity to long-lived dark sector particles into new areas previously inaccessible at the LHC. The SND@LHC and FASER detectors utilise a combination of emulsion cloud chambers for neutrino identification via precise vertexing, and electronic detectors used for tracking, timing and calorimetry. This document presents a short review of the key aspects of detector design and performance of the two experiments.
