Description

The recent detection of neutrinos at the LHC has ushered in a new era of multi-messenger collider physics. The Forward Physics Facility is an underground cavern that will allow the LHC to fully exploit this new capability in the HL-LHC era. The FPF will house several experiments, which will detect thousands of TeV-energy neutrinos each day, with far-reaching implications for neutrino physics, QCD, and astroparticle experiments. In addition, the FPF will enhance the LHC's potential to detect new, weakly-interacting particles. In this talk, I will introduce the physics motivations for the FPF and present the latest updates to the FPF’s plans and timeline.
