论文摘要
几十年来，对撞机实验中的新物理搜索一直集中在高$ P_T $区域上。但是，最近显而易见的是，LHC物理潜力尚未得到充分利用。要具体，前碰撞几乎完全被忽略了，这些前碰撞以巨大的速度沿着梁线产生颗粒。出于所有实际目的，这些碰撞是物理学的宝库，其中包含人类有史以来最高的中微子，以及可能的暗物质，光和弱耦合颗粒和新力的证据。在即将到来的LHC运行3中，前进搜索实验（FASER）及其表弟Faser $ν$将延长LHC的物理潜力。对于HL-LHC的该正向物理计划的延续旨在通过更大的实验来实现远期物理设施（FPF）。在本报告中，我概述了FASER，FASER $ν$和FPF实验的物理动机，包括标准模型和超越标准模型物理。
For decades, new physics searches in collider experiments have focused on the high-$p_T$ region. However, it has recently become evident that the LHC physics potential has not been fully exploited. To be specific, forward collisions, which produce particles along the beamline with enormous rates, have been almost completely ignored. For all practical purposes, these collisions are a treasure trove of physics, containing the highest-energy neutrinos ever produced by humans, as well as possible evidence for dark matter, light and weakly-coupled particles, and new forces. In the upcoming LHC Run 3 the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) and its cousin FASER$ν$ will extend the LHC's physics potential. A continuation of this forward physics program for the HL-LHC aims at the Forward Physics Facility (FPF), with larger scale experiments. In this report, I give an overview of the physics motivations for FASER, FASER$ν$, and the FPF experiments, including both Standard Model and beyond Standard Model physics.
