Discussion regarding the physics and detector design for the Forward Physics Facility at the LHC. 

Some notes from the FPF4 workshop 

1) Boyd:  Physics Beyond Collider group:  the new shaft and tunnel facility will be considered the baseline.  Costs including essential services is estimated to be ~40MCHF

New HL-LHC schedule has run 3 extended by 1 year 

Long shutdown  now 3 years extended by 6 months. 

Detector installation 2030-2032. 

Higher luminosity anticipated in out years (7.5 10^34 cm-2 sec-1 ) 

(has big impact on experiments). 

2) Nevay:  careful estimates of radiation losses and muon fluxes in progress. 

Need to understand the numbers with a sweeper magnet. 

3) excellent progress on scientific case.  Much work needed to coordinate detectors.

4) Need a detector case that addresses all issues.
