FASER is an experiment dedicated to searching for light, extremely weakly-interacting particles that are produced in the very forward direction of high-energy pp collisions at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The detector is placed 480 m downstream of the ATLAS interaction point, aligned with the beam collisions axis, and consists of both active electronic components intended to search for...
The MoEDAL detector, deployed at IP8 in 2010, was the LHC’s first dedicated search experiment. MoEDAL is designed to detect Highly Ionizing Particle avatars of BSM physics without requiring a restrictive trigger. MoEDAL’s MAPP-1 (MoEDAL Apparatus for Penetrating Particles) is currently being installed in UA83 adjacent to IP8 on the LHC ring MAPP-1’s purpose is to extend the reach of the...
The MoEDAL detector, deployed at IP8 in 2010, was the LHC’s first dedicated search experiment. It is a largely passive detector utilizing a 70 sqm arrangement of Nuclear Track detectors and a unique trapping detector array of mass ~ 1tonne. An active detector array of Timepix2 pixel devices monitors the radiation field near MoEDAL. MoEDAL is designed to detect highly ionizing avatars of BSM...
SND@LHC is a compact and stand-alone experiment that performed the first collider neutrino observation at the LHC.
The detector, located 480 m from the ATLAS interaction point, is composed of a target region, followed downstream by a hadronic calorimeter and a muon identification system.
The target region is instrumented with five walls of emulsion cloud chambers, each followed by a...
The MAPP-1 (MoEDAL Apparatus for Penetrating Particles) detector, currently being installed in the UA83 tunnel some 100m from IP8, was approved by CERN for installation on the LHC ring or Run-3 operation in December 2021. The purpose of the MAPP-1 detector is to extend the reach of the MoEDAL experiment to include sensitivity to Feebly Ionizing Particles such as milli-charged particles....
