Title: “The new FASER experiment at the CERN LHC”
Abstract:
“The FASER experiment is a new small and inexpensive experiment that is being placed 480 meters downstream of the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC. The experiment will shed light on currently unexplored phenomena, having the potential to make a revolutionary discovery. FASER is designed to capture decays of exotic particles, produced in the very forward region, out of the ATLAS detector acceptance. This talk will present the physics prospects, the detector design, and the construction progress of FASER. The experiment has been successfully installed and will take data during the LHC Run-3.”
For the time being, the colloquia will be held as hybrid events. They can be attended in person in Z011 as well as online via a webcast.
- The following corona rules apply to Z011 during the colloquia:
- There may be a maximum of 50 people in Z011
- Keep 1.5 m distance from each other at all times.
- Please try to arrive at Z011 a bit spread over time to avoid crowds at the doors. The doors will open at 10:45
- Do not sit next to each other, but leave a number of chairs around you unoccupied
- When leaving Z011 again, please pay attention to keep 1.5m distance on the way out.
- For those who want to follow the colloquia online, a webcast is available at: https://go.nikhef.nl/colloquium
