Neutrinos at the LHC: Status, Prospects and Implications for Astroparticle Physics

Felix Kling

The primary physics motivation of the LHC is the search for heavy particles, such as the Higgs boson, and study of their properties. In addition, the LHC is also an abundant source of neutrinos of all three flavors and with up to multi-TeV energies, which are emitted in intense and strongly collimated beams pointing in the forward direction. The FASER experiment was specifically designed to capitalize on this opportunity and has, for the first time, observed neutrinos produced by a particle collider. In this talk, I will present the experiments and its first results. I will further discuss the potential of this emerging collider neutrino program to offer unique insights into forward particle production, probe proton structure in otherwise inaccessible regimes, address unresolved issues in astro-particle physics, and search for a diverse array of new particles.
