Astroparticle Physics
There is a tripartite synergy between the science reach of the Forward Physics Facility (FPF) and astroparticle physics. Firstly, measurements at the FPF will probe high-energy hadronic interactions in the far-forward region. These measurements will improve the modeling of high-energy hadronic interactions in the atmosphere, reduce the associated uncertainties of air shower measurements, and thereby…

Location
Several possible locations for the FPF around the ATLAS and CMS interaction points were studied by the CERN civil engineering team. After taking into account technical, scientific, and resource considerations, the site selected is a dedicated standalone new cavern situated 617 m to the west of the ATLAS interaction point (IP1). The site is in…
