Description

The recent observation of collider neutrinos and BSM searches by the FASER collaboration highlights the potential the forward direction at the LHC has for neutrino and BSM physics. But in these studies, the dominant background comes from muons and significant effort goes into suppressing them. In this work, we describe efforts to use these “background” muons to study muon-philic particles. In a simple model consisting of a scalar coupling to muons, we show how the FASER (FASER2) detector at LHC (HL-LHC) can probe unconstrained regions of the parameter space of this model that can solve the g-2 anomaly.
