Title: Neutrino Studies at FASER: From emulsion reconstruction to TeV cross sections
Abstract: The FASER experiment at the LHC is designed to search for light, weakly-coupled new particles, and to study high-energy neutrinos. The experiment ran from 2022 to 2026, collecting over 300 fb⁻¹ of pp collision data. FASER has released several neutrino results including the first observation of electron and muon neutrinos at a particle collider, the first measurement of the muon and electron neutrino interaction cross sections in the TeV energy range, and the first differential measurement with muon neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. This talk will present a new method for electromagnetic shower reconstruction and identification in FASER's emulsion detector, summarize the latest FASERν electron and muon neutrino cross-section results, and discuss future prospects for FASER neutrino results.
