Parallel Talk Neutrinos Neutrinos I

Speaker

Felix Kling (SLAC)

Description

Neutrinos are copiously produced at particle colliders, but no collider neutrino has ever been detected. FASERv, a recently approved subdetector of FASER, is designed to detect such collider neutrinos for the first time and study their properties. In this talk, I will show that the small and inexpensive emulsion detector will be able to detect thousands of neutrino interactions with TeV energies. I will then discuss how FASERv will measure neutrino cross sections at energies where they are currently unconstrained, will bound models of forward particle production, and could open a new window on physics beyond the standard model.
