“…Nuclear emulsions [798] are made of a very large number of silver bromide (AgBr) crystals dispersed uniformly in a gelatin layer. Each crystal, with a typical diameter of 200 nm, acts as an independent detector channel.…”

“…After signal amplification by chemical methods such ionization sites induce filaments of metallic silver, called 'grains', which can be observed as dark spots under a microscope, thus making the trajectory of the charged particle visible, as shown in figure59. Details on the image formation can be found in[798].A modern emulsion film has two sensitive layers of ∼50 μm thick on both sides of a plastic sheet of ∼200 μm, e.g. as for the OPERA Film[799].…”

The neutrino physics program at the LHC, which will soon be initiated by the FASER experiment, will provide unique opportunities for precision studies of neutrino interaction vertices at high energies. This will also open up the possibility to search for beyond the standard model (BSM) particles produced in such interactions in the specific high-energy neutrino beam-dump experiment. In this study, we illustrate the prospects for such searches in models with the dipole or Z′ portal to GeV-scale heavy neutral leptons. To this end, we employ both the standard signature of new physics that consists of a pair of oppositely-charged tracks appearing in the decay vessel, and the additional types of searches. These include high-energy photons and single scattered electrons. We show that such a variety of experimental signatures could significantly extend the sensitivity reach of the future multi-purpose FASER 2 detector during the High-Luminosity phase of the LHC.

“…The pilot detector is divided into a 14 kg module with 101 1-mm-thick lead plates and a 15 kg module with 120 0.5-mm-thick tungsten plates, each containing the corresponding number of emulsion films [12], as shown in Fig. 1.…”

FASERν at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to directly detect collider neutrinos for the first time and study their cross sections at TeV energies, where no such measurements currently exist. In 2018, a pilot detector employing emulsion films was installed in the far-forward region of ATLAS, 480 m from the interaction point, and collected 12.2 fb −1 of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. We describe the analysis of this pilot run data and the observation of the first neutrino interaction candidates at the LHC. This milestone paves the way for high-energy neutrino measurements at current and future colliders.
