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…

QCD
Forward neutrinos produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC and detected by the LHC experiments offer a broad palette of new avenues to further our understanding of the strong nuclear force, quantum chromodynamics (QCD). QCD studies with LHC neutrinos can be classifiedinto effects associated to neutrino production and those associated with neutrino scattering at the…

Neutrinos
The LHC is the highest energy particle collider built to date and it is therefore also the source of the most energetic neutrinos created in a controlled laboratory environment. Indeed, the LHC produces intense, strongly collimated, and highly energetic beams of both neutrinos and anti- neutrinos and all three flavors in the forward direction. Although…

New Particle Searches
While traditional searches for BSM physics at the LHC focus on heavy and relatively strongly interacting states, new particles might also be light, but very weakly interacting. Such light, feebly-interacting particles indeed naturally appear in many models of new physics designed to address the most significant outstanding questions in particle physics, including the nature of…
