Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
At CERN, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—which realizes nucleus–nucleus collisions at the highest energies in the world—the FASER experiment, with a detector placed along the collision axis, began data taking in 2022. In this lecture, I will introduce the FASER experiment and discuss the future developments that are expected in this research area. |
| Class Schedule |
I will first introduce the accelerator complex that supports the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and provide an overview of the major experiments—ATLAS experiment, CMS experiment, LHCb experiment, and ALICE experiment—which deploy large detectors surrounding the LHC interaction points.
I will then focus on the FASER experiment, which places a small detector along the LHC collision axis, and describe the path from its proposal to realization. I will discuss its physics results, including the first observation of neutrinos produced at a collider, as well as ongoing searches for new particles.
Finally, I will introduce the planned upgrade of the FASER experiment for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), scheduled to begin operation around 2030, and the concept of the Forward Physics Facility (FPF), a future facility currently under study. |

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review |
At the Rencontres de Moriond Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories (https://moriond.in2p3.fr/2026/EW/) and the Rencontres de Moriond QCD and High Energy Interactions(https://moriond.in2p3.fr/2026/QCD/) , to be held in late March 2026, a variety of new results are expected to be presented.
If there are talks—other than those related to the FASER experiment—that you find particularly interesting, please let me know and I will attempt to provide an overview of them as well.
I encourage you to first look at the slides of the summary talks, and, if possible, also review the slides of the relevant individual presentations before attending. |
